I thought I’d post an image of my two horses, Gold Dancer (GD) and Khallie, her filly. GD is the grey arab mare, and Khallie (also a registered arab) is chestnut turning grey. I love this image because unlike most horse photos, which strive to show them in action, or in hyper-alertness (understandably so; after all they show their power and grace), this captures them both in a very relaxed, happy state. The meadow is filled with the sweet tall grass of springtime, and it’s a fairly big one, which adds to their sense of security (predators can’t sneak up). Their heads are drooping in a way that says “thanks Mike for bringing us here, and we wouldn’t complain if we did this every day”. After taking the picture, I laid down in the grass. My favorite grass is head-high, but it’s hard to capture the feeling of being in grass like that through still photographs. Also, it’s rare to find grass that high.
