"Sparing Partners" - I was looking at some old work and came across files of these two Friesians in the dunes. Of course, I edited one. I love their playfulness here. It makes me happy to watch horses being horses.

Spring has sprung in Western Oregon. The daffodils are blooming, the sheep are lambing, and the foals of 2026 are arriving. This Jack Creek Appaloosas c**t is a beauty!

Metistar Taj Mahal Amaro of Reindance Canadian Horses & Equestrian Services- Oregon, USA coming in hot at the Tamara Gooch workshop last August. This the sire of "Iconic". I posted some of him previously. I am finally getting to more of these images. There are so many to choose from. 🤩

I learn so much from horses. They help me to slow down and be more observant and present. This is true whether I am handling, riding, driving or photographing them. For me it's been a lifelong journey and there is always more to learn. There are gifts to be had beyond interacting with these magnificent animals. Who else can relate to this? I would love to hear your perspective.

"Iconic" Canadian Horse stallion bred by Reindance Canadian Horses & Equestrian Services- Oregon, USA - this image is from a Tamara Gooch Workshop, August 2025. I love the uphill carriage, the dust, and the shadows. He's a beautiful young stallion. Fine art and metal prints are available by DM.

Canelo, 4 yr old Gyspy Cob stallion - I enjoy photographing horses as they mature. This palomino roan filled out and grew a gorgeous mane and tail since I saw him last year. These photos were taken before Christmas. That weekend it was slick in the pasture, so we moved to the covered arena. I find it's important to be flexible and comfortable shooting in different conditions. While PNW winters may not be the optimum time, with damp weather and hairy horses, one can still get nice some images. For information on Canelo please reach out to Hidden Leaf Ranch GypsyCobs.

I'm excited to share highlights from last year, and I'm feeling energized for the Year of the Horse! Thanks to everyone who contributed. Note it’s a little long. I'm still figuring out how to create reels on my PC. There's always room to learn something new. Enjoy!

Happy New Year! 🎉

I am so excited that it's Year of the Horse. As they say, 'out with the old and in with the new.' I for one are ready for some horse energy. How about you?

Sharing a little more Christmas joy - this year I am helping cook dinner for family. Last year was spent in the hospital with a loved one who’s with us today. Never take the people and beautiful things in your like for granted. They are the best gifts.

I photographed this Andalusian mare on the Oregon Coast a few winters back.

Sharing a little more Christmas joy - I'm helping cook dinner for family this year. Last year was spent at the hospital with a loved one who is with us today. Never take for granted the people and beautiful things in your life; they are the best gifts.

I photographed this Andalusian mare with a wreath a few winters ago on the Oregon Coast.🎄🎁
