Your Monday Photo Shoot: Horses!

This weeks photo shoot from John over at By the Way is this:

Your Monday Photo Shoot: Horses are nice. Show us a horse picture you've taken. It can be new, or one from your files. It just needs to have a horse in it. Donkeys, mules, ponies, zebras, and quagga are also acceptable, and I'll be impressed if you have a picture of a quagga in your files, being that they've been extinct for 125 years and all.

HA! This one at least is an easy one! The hard part for me is picking just one picture.... So I didn't. First pic here is of Boo playing 'Hide and Seek' in the trees. I've been playing with getting pictures of him and his pasture mate under the trees. The shadow play makes for interesting compositions.



The second picture I chose just because I liked the expression on his face.



Both of these pictures were taken on Sunday afternoon, before I even knew about this weeks subject. I also took pictures of the other 5 horses I have here. Why? Because I gave them all baths and I wanted photographic evidence of them being clean. See, with horses, if you want a picture of them all sparkling clean you have to be fast because at the very first opportunity they are going to roll in the sand and not be clean anymore! {LOL}

Why not play along? I'm sure you have an equine picture someplace! Pop it up and then leave a link HERE so we can all take a look!

I loved the expression on that horse's face too.  My favorite picture of my dog Bongo is one where he looks like he's got this 'Eddie Haskell' grin on his face.

Thanks for all the hugs, friend.  I feel them!!

XOXOX,

Took you long enough to post your pictures!  I like the closeup of his face; he looks so intelligent.

Are all your horses the same type?  (I just finished reading minidee's book, "Frosty, the adventures of a Morgan horse." She had her book autographed by the author last week)  Of course this means I'll be showing minidee your horsie pictures and I'll hear "oh.... I want a horsie too" about a million times. Maybe more.  LOL

Great shots!

So I'm curious, how long after bath time did it take for each and every one of them to roll in the dirt and wipe that clean slate away?? I've been around enough horse to know after getting all sparkly they love a good roll in the mud~~
