A girl and her horse

 A horse is a horse of course of course…You remember the old song from the incredible Mr. Ed right? Oh boy, maybe I’m showing off my age! In any case, this incredible horse is Magic and my daughter is lucky enough to be taking lessons with Magic – provided by her lovely cousin Andrea. Gabi has been riding Magic off and on for a bit over a year now and it was my pleasure to be able to photograph Magic and Andrea together one lovely evening this past fall. I will be the first to admit that I don’t know much about horses but this guy is really a character. Seems like every time we go to the barn, someone comments on Magic’s over-abundance of personality. I’ve seen him beg for treats, drink out of a can, practically speak hello and entertain whomever is close. He is for sure one incredible horse.

We only had a few minutes for our session since we were losing light so quickly but Magic was a champ. Even though he wasn’t crazy about my lights and he really didn’t like my sof box, he still managed to strike a pose or two. I just the sweet sunset light.

  1. These are really nice! Gorgeous girl, gorgeous horse, gorgeous portraits!

  2. Great work – these are fantastic. I'm sure that horses are a lot harder to photograph than people expect!
