First off - HAPPY NEW YEAR! I hope 2009 brings everyone happiness & joy!! I had the pleasure of photographing "Beau" - my trainers Sec A Welsh Stallion. I spent about an hour grooming him and making his thick mane shine. He was so well mannered and is very sweet. He was very fresh on the snow. I did not have a helper with me, so it was harder to capture has trotting and cantering shots. All he wanted to do was hallop around and flip up his tail and be a proud stallion that he is! By the end of the shoot he was exhausted. I led him back into the back and he pretty much hung hi head down low and totally ignored all the mares hanging there head over the stall doors. I put him back in his stall ad gave him some extra hay for being such a good boy. The last image to the right was him in his pasture yawning. He must have yawned 10 times.. I have more images of him yawning, but that had to be the funniest!
You can find out more info on "Beau" at: DD Performance Horses - located in Feeding Hills, Massachuetts.
Have a Safe and Happy New Year!
