Horse drawn Sleighs

There is a large park with a horse racing track close to our apartment.  During the summer they have horse drawn chariot races.  This winter they had enough snow to do horse drawn sleigh races.  The event was canceled once this year because there was too much snow! There were all sorts of horses and sleighs.  Most of the drivers had on traditional dutch dress that was related to the function of their sled. Some sleds were basic and others were quite fancy.

This sled and horse won best in show.  The horse also was acting up a lot at the end. 
  

The end of the event concluded with horse races.  It was quite fun to watch them race.
