Horses have been included in fashion for a long time. Either as background or mood setting, or as a main focal point of an image. There's nothing new about that. But it doesn't mean I still don't get excited about seeing horses in fashion! Dior 2021 Spring Summer Collection featured a white baroque horse of some type (Andalusian pe[...]
One of the fun aspects of my job is learning about things I didn't know existed. Hell Week is one of those things. Hell Week is a clinic designed by Jimmy Wofford to prepare for competition season. The Hell Week I saw was lots of intense lunging exercises, but Jimmy told me if it went another week, gymnastics would be incorporated.[...]
We made it through 2020. Kudos are in order. Of course, 2021 starting isn't going to magically cause life to suddenly become normal again. It's still going to be strange times for a while. I have high hopes for the new year. I have a lot of goals, personal, financial, equestrian, and family, that I want to reach. I started my photo[...]
Back in November, Stu was living at my farm, enjoying the good life. He got fed, he got water, he slept and ate as much as he wanted. But Stu wanted more. He knew there was something out there he was missing. So Stu started jumping the fence. Again. The first time, well, I guess things happen. But the second time, I'm noticing a tr[...]
I know I've been quiet for a while, but this is only because I've been living my best life. Well, almost best life. Best life would mean I'm actually riding, which I am not. But, with my new photography business, I 100% have been living my best life. I want to go more in depth with my shoots because I really feel lucky with all the[...]
Boy howdy, it's been a while since I did one of these. It's also been a while since anyone has said, "Boy howdy," so it seemed right to throw that out there. StreamhorseTV StreamhorseTV is a site listing all the horse related livesteams, much like a TV guide. It keeps you up to date with where you can get your horse show[...]
It took my mom asking me why I haven't blogged in a while to realize I haven't blogged in a while. Thanks for checking in, Mom! Yes, it has been a while. I'm sorry for the silence. I usually have way more to say. The short answer of where I've been is: I haven't done much with the horses recently and I've been either busy with a to[...]
Another week, another fantastic photo shoot! I'm addicted - can't stop shooting! This is Grace, who I've been shooting with for a while now. She was actually my very first model since I started portrait photography, so we've been working together for a few months now. Thankfully, I've been getting better since our first session, a[...]
What do you do when you have a nice dress and a horse? Obviously you combine the two for pictures! I've been practicing my photography on people for a while now, and I decided it was time to combine it with horses. I asked Olivia if she'd be willing to model with her horse Frankie, and she agreed! Olivia has been part[...]
It seems like just days ago she was born, and now she's hit another milestone - her first pony ride!!! She's been born in another way: introduced to the wonder of riding. Naturally, she has already been around horses, since she lives on a horse farm, but I have never let her on on. To be blunt, I do not trust my[...]
