How could we not like this picture. It provides us a snapshot into a fun afternoon frolic. This old girl has got all four feet off the ground & has almost achieved liftoff! She is a lovely animal & we wish we’d had front row seats at her frolic.

This is a really simple image, but there is something about the contrast & balance that we really like. Of course we do love a pretty palomino as much as the next horse lover too. While it may be simple, it’s clear as a bell & you have to love that little patch of white on his cheek.

It’s exceptional to catch horses being wild on camera. They are difficult to photograph anyway, but catching those amazing, wild moments is never easy. The horse is gorgeous & a stunning example of dark chestnut with a flaxen modifier, a striking combination.

Images of foals require no explanation, they are just cute (especially baby drafts). While this baby isn’t very interested in the camera, it almost looks as if it’s lost in thought. This is also a fine example of a mealy mouth on a young horse. What a cutie!

We’d like to admit that we like all horse breeds equally, but it’s just not true. We have a thing for the draft breeds. Whether it’s because the 20th century was so hard on them collectively or just because they are so darn big & cuddly we can’t say. This one is beautiful & a lovely example of a healthy bay coat.

We love images of horses that give them a vaguely human air. This one is no exception, with its windswept mane & bright eyes this handsome animal is as pretty as any supermodel. We can’t deny the lovely contrast of well manicured pastures & stark white fences in the background. It’s a well balanced image & it looks like paradise.

Yes, we know that’s not a horse up there, but we had to share it anyway. This is a Scottish breed of cattle called Highland Cattle & they are absolutely stunning. That coat is amazing & gives them such a cuddly look. We love this picture simply because it is stunning.

This is another one of those images we have a special reason for liking. It’s not just a sweet looking horse laying down, this one has got an apron face which is rather rare face marking that is difficult to find images of. We were delighted to run across it as we are of any image of rare markings or colors.

There is something about animals with blue eyes, whether it’s that they look more human or that they just stand out. In this particular image the contrasting brightness of the halter seems to enhance those peepers even more.

Mainly we like this image because its a great example of a snowflake appaloosa. Images of them are difficult to find so we were delighted to run across this one. We also love the relationship between horses & dogs. By their very nature they shouldn’t really be pals, but they make it work anyway.

What is not to like? Kids & horses are incredibly cute together – especially when a sweet & innocent moment is captured on film. We were all that size once & probably most of us loved horses then every bit as much as we do today. It’s a lifetime love affair for most of us.
