My deck overlooks my pasture, and I've been wanting to experiment with getting overhead photos of the horses. One day the horses were hanging out by the deck so I seized my chance. While I didn't get exactly what I was looking for, I love their reactions. Pony is trying to figure out[...]
Many places across the US are opening back up for business, which is great for those who have been starved of horse contact. Naturally, this is the perfect time to get lots of photos of your equine friend. But, of course you get lots of pictures of your horse. Everyone does. It wouldn't be normal n[...]
Saturday was the 79th running of Warrenton Hunt's Point to Point. Leading up to the event, I was watching their facebook page to see if they would cancel the event due to the coronovirus, and it seems others were too, as they eventually posted that the race was still on. I've never been to th[...]
I would happily spend every weekend taking pictures of horses and their people. So happy I got to do it two weekends in a row! Let's see if I can keep this trend going... Presenting D'Arcy. For these photos, I went to visit D'Arcy and her horse Ollie. Longtime readers will remember that D'Arc[...]
Poor poor Ponyman, who seems to get hardly any attention from anyone. He's not as desperately needy as Stu, and finds him annoying, so he just keeps to himself away from the herd. When I give him attention, he soaks it up like a plant taking in the sunlight. He's a good boy, my original ins[...]
For someone who lives in Virginia hunt country, I haven't been out much to experience the actual fox hunting part of it. Frankly, I've been missing out, and I should have gone foxhunting a long time ago. I was told by nearly every horse friend in the area how much they love foxhunting. But sadly, I[...]
I love photography. It's right up there next to my love of horses. Naturally, I combine the two whenever possible. I have been working at it for a while, and as I learn more, my photos are getting so much bettter. I've studied it, practiced, and followed others good advice, and it feels like[...]
It feels like I do more photography than anything else these days, but really the photography is just the easiest to share. Although also the easiest to do, while taking care of a baby. It's hard to ride and take care of a baby at the same time. But anyway - I'm still working on developing my[...]
The first snowfall of the winter has come! It's beautiful to look at, and I love it for photos. For practical purposes though, man, I hate snow. It just adds a layer of annoyance when taking care of the horses. Its annoying to walk through, it's annoying to clear it away, and it's annoying wh[...]
I've been leaning heavily on Christmas themed Instagram pictures. 'Tis the season, afterall! There's no denying that Christmas brings out beautiful decorations, and I love seeing what other people do. But, as I have mentioned, I am a reformed grinch, so I don't actually have a whole lot of decorati[...]
