These are some of the photos that I have taken over the last few years. The local horse shows and events are a perfect time to take out the camera and play. A lot of my good friends, were met by asking someone if I could take a photo of their horses and catching up with them each of the following years. The other photos are of my previous animals and those also of friends.
The pet of a friend, Charlie bird wouldn't usually pose for pictures but this day he peeked out from under his wing at me and the opportunity was too good. He was usually trying to land on the backs of cantering ponies or comming in for a landing on the hood of an old tractor and sliding straight off the other side.
Another attempted photo that turned out alright. The sun was setting at the Warrnambool rodeo when the barrel racing was on and I decided to give it a go and was rewarded with 2 nice action shots. This is one of them.
This was taken at the local show. one of the friends who I had met at previous shows was there with her new Arabian stallion Ricky, who had only just been broken in to saddle as an adult and handled his first show with style and flair. Not once did he get upset or play up.
Zara our German shepard who was put down 2 years ago almost was freezing when I took this photo as the ground was all covered with frost. I think I need to get a better one of her scanned
