Elegant Horse Stalls

These are the quite elegant  stalls to be found inside the Casa Loma stables which I showed you yesterday. The stables were built to house the pedigreed horses belonging to Sir Henry Pellatt who was the man that had Casa Loma built. They also contain a potting shed and a conservatory but not all have been restored to the degree that the stalls have!

  1. This makes me think of the Royal Mews in London. Just beautiful.

  2. I always wonder how hard it would have been to be a groomsman, essentially a lowly house worker, while the horses lived in such luxury.
