Breezy glamour shots

Breezy is now six and has matured into a stunning mare. She’s such a ham and loves showing off. My mom is going to a large show this summer and wants me to take Breezy. I’m not sure I’ll be able to so I wanted to do a photoshoot so mom would have some pictures.

I have a Pentax K-1 Mark ii (full-frame sensor) and a Pentax K-3 (ASP-C crop sensor). I used a 28-105 on the K-1 for close-ups and a 60-250 on the K-3 for the action shots. I’ve helped with several professional photoshoots before, so I knew how much work it could be. Some of my friends at the barn stayed around to help.

Breezy got a bath and we went into the big ring for the shoot. First, we did some basic headshots. Poor girl looked like she was going to fall asleep.

Breezy and I had done free lunging in the big ring a few times, so she understood when I asked her to walk. I snorted at her and started trotting. She was like oh really? And tail went off, she snorted, and took off. She had so much fun playing with me.

In about 15 minutes of Breezy snorting and showing off, I got about 60 or so pictures. The other photoshoots I’ve been on took hours.

    Isis felt great today. Pulled her into the ring to see how she was feeling. She was off of bute, her hoof had healed, and it was time to see how she was moving. Poof! She took off around the ring, curled her tail over her back, and trotted without touching the ground. Oh yes,…

    Isis Update

    The results from the biopsy came back and showed that Isis’ problems were caused by an allergic reaction. What she reacted to, we don’t know yet. I’d be willing to guess that it was something tied in with the rain rot she had (which is now gone). Related Images:

    Isis hauled beautifully and did very well. She has settled in and seems to be adjusting. She has her own stall and her own turn out paddock. She is up during the day and out at night. I discovered tonight that she doesn’t like the new water. She has been at a barn with city…

  • Lessons from riding

    I’ve had a riding lesson for the past two Saturdays. It has been a roller coaster where my riding skills fluctuated from newbie to advanced. Had my skills degraded? Muscle tone wasn’t as good as it had been in 2008 when we were able to ride more. In 2009, riding time was minimized due to…
