Marziya Rides the Horse

Marziya Rides the Horse, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.

Pictures I shot on 17 June 2009

Its very sad they dont have a horse track here the horse and the child are a great risk, as this is a motorable road with sharp curves,but both the horse owners are experienced and have trained their horses accordingly, because of the reopening of schools their business has slumped drastically so they look forward to Marziya, and to such an extent that the horses recognize her too, Marziya has a gifted touch and a way with animals.

I am mostly scared as some years back a child fell of a horse near Thane , a motorist honked and the horse go overtly frightened and the child slipped through the hands of the horse owner who also lost control.

So this is my dilemma each time Marziya sits on the horse..she is my grand daughter ..but she is her father and mothers doting child too.

The Almeida Park is about a few minutes from my shop ..so when I have time to spare I bring her here carried on my waist.

When we are returning home wards Marziya begins shouting out Auto to catch a rickshah..,I also make her walk for short distance..
