Let's share our favorite photos of our stud muffins. No limit.
Oooohhh, boy...you asked for it...an excuse to plaster all of my fave photos in one place. Some will have been seen before, others may be new. Obviously, the pony garners the most of these...but with 18+ years of photo-taking together, we've gotten some keepers. (This doesn't even count all of our show-ring days, all of which are hard copies that haven't been scanned yet.)

| Las Cienegas LD -- I love the going away shot |
 |
| she's not big on cuddles usually, so I love that her ears are up and she's actually happy about it |
 |
| first back-to-back LD, day two...thrilled with how perky she was! |
 |
| love all ear-cam shots...so attentive and alert |
 |
| first 50! I'm a dork and she's like 'whatever' photo by Laura Bovee |
And I've done enough rides and gotten enough good pics of her that I feel Liberty qualifies to be included here as well...

 |
| an interesting side profile shot...this mare has the most interesting face...and yes, while the photographer is below us, my feet are that high up on her sides photo by Susan Kordish |

 |
| dork mare (mid-shake) |
 |
| love it...can actually drop my reins on the crew bag and she stays put! |
 |
| being a twerp...post-ride, 30 miles wasn't enough...digging to China and sticking her tongue out about being yelled at |
So many great photos! Mimi is so very cute, and I LOVE you and Liberty together in orange
ReplyDeleteThank you! I was really surprised how much I ended up loving the orange on the dark bay...even better than orange on grey (we've seen gone back to pony's signature purple).
