I fled to Spain due to the continuing shitty weather in The Netherlands, today they were celebrating San Antón's day. A day for their animals.

Nice shot!!

You are so right to have done so @juliank! Thanks for sharing a lil warmth with your photo! Enjoy Spain <3

Thanks! I will do my best to share more ;)

This day is dedicated to all of their animals? or any particular? I searched in Google but didn't help me at all.

I am not sure I can quote my Spanish land lord:

Once in a year we celebrate in Valencia San Antón's day to our animals healh to be blessed.

I like horse. Good animal strong @juliank

Very strong!

Gotta love Spain. Great weather (mostly), Great food, epic opportunities for great photos :)

Great picture, I love little horsie's attire, looking very dapper :) Nice shot, man! Great hard-working animal to celebrate! Did you ever learn his name and occupation?

Hahahaha Julian what a celebrity this guy!!

Sry don't missunderstood me, I respect everyone but this is not the way people looks like in Spain (my country) , this would be a "freaky" one for us.

San Anton's day is effectively an annual celebration taking place January the 17th .

I couldn't find and english version, sorry.

People ( those who have faith ) take their pets or beloved animals (no matter wich one unless is illegal or dangerous XD ) for the priests to bless them on behalf "San Antón"

The pic is fantastic , thank you for sharing ;)
Cheers

Great photo. I live in Spain but hadn't heard of this holiday (I am further south from Valencia) so thanks for sharing!
