Over the past few months I’ve been featuring collections of old horse photography. It’s so interesting to see how horse life has changed over the years and to see how it was in times past.

The Collection Closes

For now I’ve exhausted my collection, but I’ll be keeping my eyes peeled for more unique old shots. If you haven’t seen them already be sure to check out the first few sections, Pt. 1, Pt. 2 & Pt. 3.
