On a Break

Belem, Lisbon, Portugal

Across the street from Jeronimous Monastery I watched this scene play out.
The carriage driver was on a break and brought her horse a large, heavy bucket of water.
She no sooner set it down when the horse took one look at it and promptly kicked it over with his front hoof.
Guess he wasn't thirsty.

Horses do have a way of expressing themselves. Those ears are speaking volumes. Love this warm and bright shot!

A neat shot and I'm glad they got a set up to catch the poop!

Funny story ! Guess horses can make a point !! Maybe tired of tourists and always having to appear pleasant ? :) V

Maybe he was thinking he needed something with a little more octane.

It might have wanted Sparkling water. So fortunate of you to have witnessed the drama and recorded it. A highlight in the trip.

Guess it was the wrong kind of water! The horse looks a bit put out in this great candid. V.
