Very nice shot Ed. I learned just yesterday how much horses 'sweat'. A friend rode two horses over to my house and I could see the water dripping off of them. Not only were the men tough hombres, the horses were too! Great shot.

Back in time. Very good capture.

This could be a painting! I've walked the battlefield there in that kind of heat. Those guys back then were some tough hombres.
