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.

We like it because that horse on the right looks like it is smirking at us & the one of left might just burst out laughing at any moment. We love to see humanlike emotion reflected in animals. While we love all horses, we do like photography of them that uses interesting angles & captures classic moments.

First, we love it because it was submitted to us. This is little Indiana taking a rest under the fence of her pasture. She is cute as a button (we do love the spotted ones!) and we just want to lay down on the grass next to her.

A true illustration of the grass always being greener, this handsome fella just doesn’t have enough on his side of the fence!

There is something quite unexpected & cute about this image. While most of it is the yin & yang effect, but some of it is the casual & relaxed behavior of the subjects. We think they are feral ponies, but aren’t quite sure where they are in the world. They look rugged, fuzzy & we just want to scratch behind their ears!

One day during this summer the groom cleaned and dressed me with such extraordinary care that I thought some new change must be at hand; he trimmed my fetlocks and legs, passed the tarbrush over my hoofs, and even parted my forelock. I think the harness had an extra polish. Willie seemed half-anxious, half-merry, as he got into the chaise with his grandfather.
“If the ladies take to him,” said the old gentleman, “they’ll be suited and he’ll be suited. We can but try.” Read more
It’s no secret we like shots of grazing horses, especially when you pair them with great photography. This robust lady is enjoying her afternoon meal & we wish we could lay in the grass nearby to watch her eat. She displays aubtle mealy characteristics on her lovely bay coat – we just love the shaggy heaviness of draft breeds!

At this sale, of course I found myself in company with the old broken-down horses — some lame, some broken-winded, some old, and some that I am sure it would have been merciful to shoot. Read more
We don’t really have to explain it do we? There is something about the youngsters, something unpredictable & wild. This image captures that, along with the lovely black coats of these beautiful Friesian babies. They make a striking pair & we’d love to have seen them frolic!

My new master I shall never forget; he had black eyes and a hooked nose, his mouth was as full of teeth as a bull-dog’s, and his voice was as harsh as the grinding of cart wheels over graveled stones. His name was Nicholas Skinner, and I believe he was the man that poor Seedy Sam drove for.
I have heard men say that seeing is believing; but I should say that feeling is believing; for much as I had seen before, I never knew till now the utter misery of a cab-horse’s life. Read more
