this is still amazing

I love living in the future. Someone recorded the four-horse chariot at the Midwest Horse Fair and put it up on YouTube:

ETA: Also, I observe this video was shot on Saturday, because you can see me in the background: blonde woman in pale blue/turquoise shirt carrying a dark brown jacket, standing on the ground to the (viewer's) left of the gates.

That is so cool!
And do you know what kind of horses those are? They are gorgeous!

[truepenny.livejournal.com]

They're Friesians (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friesian_horse).

Oh. My. Gawd. That's brilliant, and beautiful. Ave, Fresians, and your charioteer, too!

It's one of the most amazing things I've ever seen in person. I am so grateful to the person who decided to put their video of it on YouTube.

Oh hello....like in the title of the video. *blushes*
Yes, really, usually I pay attention!
Thank you :-)

You're welcome.

And "Friesian" could just as easily have been the kind of chariot as the kind of horse, so really, no problem. *g*

Oh my. A quadriga. Utterly amazing and wonderful.

That is so beautiful. I am now trying to imagine chariot racing with four of those in a row. In different colours. In the Circus Maximus. With Italian sunshine.

And he wasn't anywhere near letting those guys go all out, either.

I'm sorry, all I can manage here is "Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

My squee has more to do with the fact that there is a CHARIOT being expertly driven rather than the fact there are four horses being wonderfully managed. *classical squee*
But the chariot doughnuts are awesome.

OMG! four! horses! and OMG CHARIOT!!! kind of met in the middle of my brain and exploded in fireworks.
