By spending time with her family and observing the Clydesdale horses rush around as though they were preparing for a procession, this young lady was making the most of the weather and the festive mood.

Though she most likely avoided going too close to them, she most certainly spent some time with these wonderful creatures. The young woman gathered her bravery and went in front of the majestic stallion, waiting for the camera to click.

Her father told her to “Smile” as he positioned himself behind the camera. The photographer took their picture at that precise moment, forever documenting the scene.

It’s safe to say that the family patriarch and the rest of his family were not at all expecting the outcome! The father was astounded by what a wonderful moment the camera had captured when they first saw the picture.
