Here comes the horse edition of my visit of Oktoberfest 2011.
The breweries on Oktoberfest usually have a team of horses and a beautifully decorated cart with beer barrels standing near their beer tents.
That's the Hofbräu cart.
The flowers were so pretty.
Such beautiful horses.
Shiny coat and tail.
Two carts side by side.
The flower bouquet on the Augustiner Bräu cart.
Those horses are huge.
A lot of people love to have their photo taken with the horses.
I told you that the horses are huge.
The Löwenbrau flower bouquet on the cart.
Some more Oktoberfest photos will follow soon.
Wow, what fabulous pictures.
ReplyDeleteOne of these days I would love to go to a real Oktoberfest.
Not one of these Americanized ones.
Gorgeous animals!!
Ach Birgit!!!! How I remember the beer wagons of the Oktoberfest!!!!!! Thank you so much for all the wonderful memories you have awaken in my mind once again!!!! How wonderful for you to live in this grand old city...I hope you post lots more pictures of the horses and later on this year of the Kirstkindlesmarkt...

Birgit! You keep this up and I'm going to want to move there! Those horses are amazing! And to think it's all about beer...which that, I could live without. ;) When you show off the goodies and the shopping though...well, that I'm on board for! Great photography, as usual! Just keep em coming!
ReplyDeleteOh I must agree about those stunning draft horses. I would like a couple grey ones for myself (I wouldn't want one lonely one by himself, right?). I don't think I could afford to house or feed them, but I can dream! I hope they are well-treated.
ReplyDeleteReally lovely range of colors in those pictures. So nice! I have almost made it to Germany a couple times, but nothing yet. (I took German in college but I fear I have forgotten 98%). One day, perhaps.
lovely photographs! why do they cover the ears?
