Ha.
It's winter here, which means snow and ice and occasionally, super artistic fog.

This weekend, I wanted to see how Courage was feeling, so I put him in a great outfit to lunge him.
 |
| such curves! |
But I liked my cool, arty-ish arena shot, and I thought it could be even cooler with the dressage horse standing on the only exposed patch of sand, staring off into the distance.
I set up that shot.
Courage sort of looked at me.
 |
| hooman y u so dum? |
Annnnnnnnd.
Whoops.
It wasn't the arty shot I had in mind, but I guess it worked out ok?
PS Yeah it took like 10 minutes to catch him in a super tense walking chase because I DID NOT WANT him to break my favorite reins and he DID NOT WANT to play along.
But he felt great. So if I could ride. That would be something.
He certainly looks great
ReplyDeleteI think so, but I tend to be partial.
DeleteI've played that game of trying to catch my horse and praying he didn't bust my reins. Thank god he shoves his head straight up in the air...
ReplyDeleteWin some, lose some. ;-)
DeleteThat picture of him walking away is actually sort of cool and wistful looking ;)
ReplyDeleteNone of the others were even remotely interesting, so I was really glad that one came out.
DeleteSorry to hear you are still grounded but glad you weren't hurt worse in that traffic accident! I try going for artsy photos time to time and 99.9% of the time its the totally random, unplanned shot that looks the best. Go figure!
ReplyDeleteIt would probably help if I arted better in general. Oh well.
Deleteoh my been there with the casual walk/chase scenario (Dont you are break my reins horse in my mind the whole time:) HA hope you feel better soon!!
ReplyDeleteI'm protective of all my tack but these are my super favorite reins I got for a song and can't replace without selling an arm.
DeleteROFL
ReplyDeleteWe live to entertain. I think.
DeleteOh dear...that was not a good 10 minutes. Haha.
ReplyDeleteYeah kinda stressful. :o
DeleteOoh, I quite like the Courage leaving shot actually!
ReplyDeleteHe was very purposeful. Never left the walk, never let me get close. DAMMIT HORSE.
Deletelolz i'm not going to admit how often this or something like it happens to me. like when i leave charlie's stall door wide open to ooh and ahh all over his stately handsome self standing in the doorway like a gentleman.... right up until he decides to leave. lol
ReplyDeleteUsually he's a champion poser who I can just park anywhere.
DeleteBut usually he also gets turned out/worked regularly and that isn't happening right now.
This basically happens to me on the regular. The other day Pig was nearly halfway out of the parking lot before I realized he'd left the indoor. Whoops.
ReplyDeleteOmg I couldn't even. I'm wildly neurotic.
DeleteHahaha oh C-rage, always keeping your 'hooman' on her toes 😂 glad he feels good! No doubt you'll be joining him soon!
ReplyDeleteI sure hope so. The current situation is poo.
DeleteSee ya mom!
ReplyDeletePretty much. ;-)
DeleteBeen there, done that, horse broke the reins/cheekpieces. Hope you are back in the saddle soon.
ReplyDeleteOh man I'd be so sad if that happened. Plus he'd probably re-pinch the nerve in his neck.
DeleteYou need to frame that "Loose Horse" shot and hang it in the living room!
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to save my wallspace for someday when he's going in a double and I get a really fantastic picture. We'll see.
DeleteHa ha ha. I wondered if you photoshopped yourself out to make he photo better. Then wondered if no, your horse was just on a walkabout.
ReplyDeleteHahaha yeah it's a really cool picture until you start to think about it.
DeleteHe looks good standing there. Looks equally good leaving.
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty meta.
Deleteha! Horses are such jerks. I actually love the shot of him walking away though!
