Not all horses in my photo collection are real. I took this one of a winged unicorn at a World Expo held in Brisbane in 1988. This horse was part of an evening light parade.

There is also an historical group in my shire who appear at shows in the uniform of the Australian Light Horse from World War I. The first is the full colour photo and the second has been "aged" to look more like an old photo .
