Around the Chateau Cheneau, was the festival. I think "Chateau" which means castle is a big word for this more like a manor looking building. It had been built by a apparently rather wealthy notary and was sold in 1978 to the Braine l'Alleud city.
The entrance to the park
Because of the beautiful weather
there were a lot of people
The yellow beer tent was already full and there were also several food stands, cheese, sausages and cakes .
Many stands also represented animal shelters collecting money and of course there was a playground for children.
When I noticed this cute mini horse, I first thought it was a huge dog ! Probably it had been the "horse" of the girls when they were little.
Small children could ride on small horses and had a lot of fun.
Later on was a show with riders in different costumes.
The horses were all very beautiful
This one should jump, but refused in the last minute
I watched the different shows, the riders on the white horses faked a "bull fighting".
Carriages were also present
After the shows I left and went home.

A much as I love all living creatures: including snakes,spiders, beetles, I am petrified of horses! But do admire them. What an interesting show. And I'm glad you had such beautiful weather. Have a great day. Jo
