Horse Portraits

Horses

Some different portraits.  Sometimes horses are like 8 years olds, especially when you are trying to photography them.  They don't stop moving.  I was taking some photos of a friend's boys years ago.  They were 5 and 7.  Mom was in the studio trying as she might to get them calm and posed.  I finally had to ask her to leave the room.  There was no way those two boys were going to sit still with her in the studio.  Truth be told, they weren't a hundred percent better but I did get some great shots.  Almost like with the horses here.  They are such curious beasts.  One of the biggest challenges, often, is getting them to stay far enough away that I can get a decent photo.  They come up and are all curious about the camera!  I hope you enjoy the photos as much as I did taking them.

The White Horse

The White Horse

Muskoka Horses

Up at the cottage asked a neighbour if I could shoot some of his horses.  I'd been driving by his farm for years and last month while on my bicycle asked if I could take some pictures sometime.  Stirling, the owner of the property, assured me that if I came by that this would be quite fine.  Took me about a month to get back there and I wandered around for a bit with the horses and got some great shots. I didn't get the names but will next time I visit.  I hung around for about 30-45 minutes and by the end of things the animals were quite comfortable with me.  I'm showing just the one white horse below.  True white horses, of which this is one, are quite rare.
