Yesterday I had a nice trip abroad - to Lithuania, Nemunas stud farm. (My vet needed to pick up her mare that was there for a month, and invited me along).
They mostly breed TR horses there. I had fantastic day there, cuddling about 500 horses :) So if you like to see Lithuanian horses, here is link from yesterday's trip.

They also have some Lithuanian draft horses - huge and sweet creatures.
My biggest surprise was the temperament of their horses - TR are famous to be HOT, but their horses - all kissy and cuddly, looking for humans.
Their pastures are huge, we were driving along in 4X4 looking for one herd or another, and as horses spotted us, they run instantly to meet and greet.
I was impressed as they do have about 500 horses in huge areas there, and I expected their horses be much wilder, but no. Last year they had 70 foals, this year - 60 foals, and their prices are friendly, a reason to drool and dream... :)
