very nice shot Ell…the horse seems little camera shy
Thanks so much Shane :o) Di got a better ‘wide-angle’ shot though, I think :o)
Brown horse tucked his head into his mate quite often while we were there, plainly very attatched to his friend, gorgeous to see though a little heart-breaking at the same time … I have a prior history with horses …

This is truly great photography. It tells the whole story AND its perfectly composed. Its funny too in that the horse is in focus and the driver is background. That sums up the horse’s perspective too! Who’s doing all the work here!!?? Hah! Excellent!
Cordially, another Ellen
I’ve put up some new images last night. I’d love you to swing by and take a look.
