Horses In Doha, Qatar
Last week, I talked about how cats rule Dubai.
They rule Doha, Qatar also.
As do horses.
Horses are…everywhere. (grins) Visitors can watch horse races. They can ride horses over nearby sand dunes.
And they can visit the stables in the middle of the old part of the city. For FREE!
The horses, many of them beautiful Arabians, can be seen in their pens, eating and frolicking and doing horse things.
They can also be seen in the buildings, in their stables. The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I walked right into the buildings and that type of spontaneous visiting seemed to be encouraged. We watched as locals brought treats for the horses and fed them. Some kind souls offered us some of the treats so we could feed the horses also.
It was a horse lover’s dream!

Muse Food – Mounted Police And Setting The Mood
I was completely enchanted by these mounted police in Qatar.
And…I shouldn’t have been. Because they ARE the police. They have the ability to arrest me and others and perhaps do worse to us.
Those beautiful horses? I suspect they have been trained to kill.
But someone from North America, like myself, associates them with parades and other peaceful events. We don’t view them as possible weapons.
If you want to change the mood of a story, that can be as easy as changing a small detail…like the mode of transportation the rule enforcers use.
