I love taking photos of wildlife and birds, but I have been neglecting another interest which is horses. I used to take a lot of wild horse photos, and I photographed barrel races and rodeos for years but have drifted away from those subjects. I am again thinking about getting out and taking wild horse photos and wanted to brush up on my skills. I live quite close to the Livestock Events center and so I spent a few days at a big Arabian Horse show that has been going on this week.

What pampered and fussed over animals these horses are! The grooming and primping was never ending as the horses were readied for their events. I had access to the barns and warm up areas which allowed me to get a lot of photos and practice.



I enjoyed photographing and spending time around these beautiful horses, but I thought they looked bored with all the falderal. I look forward to finding myself among the scruffy, unkempt wild ones once more.


These are beauties
Hermosos ejemplares! 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻🥇🥇🥇
They are really impressive animals. Thank you for the chance to enjoy looking at them.
I’m glad you enjoyed them. 🙂
“Bored with all the falderal”! It would seem so. They’re gorgeous, but I agree — there’s something about the spirit of a wild horse!
Arabians are such a pretty type of horse. Nice shots of them! Yes, I agree, the wild horses have their own kind of charm.
A attended an Arabian horse show in Sarasota, Florida years ago. Those horses were truly breathtaking!
Yes they are gorgeous. 🙂
I went to an Arabian show during the summer, it was amazing to watch! Arabians are my second favorite breed, and they are even more stunning in person!
They are beautiful.
