Patiently Waiting to Deliver the Mail

Uploaded for the Vintage Photos Theme Park theme of "Waiting". These horses are patiently waiting for the photographer to take the picture so that the mailman (a little hard to see here, with his mailbag, by the carriage), can jump up and head out to deliver the mail.
Taken in East Fairfield, Vermont at the East Fairfield Post Office, c1900.
Mounted on cardboard, but I've cropped for detail.
