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.

    The barn just called. Isis may be having another episode of EPM (neurological disorder), like she did back in June. She isn’t as bad as she was then, but she still isn’t “right.” I’ll write more when I know more. I’m on my way out to the barn now. Update: It’s not EPM. It’s choking….

    The bay wonder mare has a new companion: Cedars Rajiyyah, the grey wonder mare. I am leasing her from my mom for two years or so. We’ll be working undersaddle, possibly dressage or over fences (if she likes that). Rajiyyah is a bold-moving mare with a gentle, inquisitive disposition. She is a real people horse….

    To be sore enough so you can’t walk, take riding lessons! Join the few, the proud, the walks-like-a-cowboy crew! And grin like a fool while you’re doing it! I’ve had my third lesson in as many months and it’s a blast! My friends look at me funny like, “I thought you knew how to ride?”…

  • Canter departs

    Thirteen years ago, my horse somersaulted and landed on me when we were cantering during a riding lesson. I don’t remember what happened exactly. We were cantering down the long side at the end of the lesson and she felt magnificent: strong impulsion, light in my hands, and then something. The world spun and I…
