Hill Top Horses
We were on our way home from church today and spotted these two on the crest of a hill enjoying the view.
Despite the chaos going on in the world today scenes like this give me a sense of peace.

Raking Hay
Raking Hay
The St. Jacobs area is well known as a Mennonite community. As I was driving out of town the other day I saw this young lad raking the hay so I had to grab a shot.
Sleigh Ride

I was out taking some winter shots near the village of Millbank today and these guys came down the road. I find it interesting that the horses saw me standing off to the side of the road from a fair distance away. As you can see from this shot they were keeping an eye on me.
Spurred On
Spurred On
I’ve been feeling a little under the weather with a cold that just doesn’t want to go away. I was looking through the archives from last year and this image “Spurred” me on to make a post!
I didn’t do to much post processing. A little work in Lightroom. A little spice from Topaz adjust and there you go!
Hope every one is have a good start to the New Year. I am upgrading my computer so more on that when I get it.
Shadowfax
Shadowfax – Calhoun Stables – Durant Road, Woolwich
This is one I shot this past spring. The name Shadowfax comes from the Lord of the Rings. Shadowfax is a white horse that only Gandalf can ride. His horse will not tolerate a bridle or saddle, comprehends human speech, runs faster than the wind, and possesses extraordinary courage. I’m not sure what the actual name of this horse is but it thought it fit.
This picture will also be on display at the exhibit in Elmira.
Coming Through!
We’re Coming Through!
I was able to get this shot by standing in a ditch at the edge of the lane that these horses came running down. They could see me there and seem to be saying “Look out we’re coming through!”

And They’re Off
And They’re Off
Last week we were out at another horse farm getting more shots of horses on the run. There is nothing quite like standing out in a field with these beautiful animals.
Thundering Hooves
On the Run
On Saturday evening we went out to Baden again to get some more images of horses running.
Thundering Hooves
They are such powerful animals and to stand in an open field with half a dozen or more horses galloping past you with in a couple yards is amazing. The thunder of their hooves has a rhythm that is almost hypnotic.
Kick’n up Dust
After charging past us they continued down the hill – dust flying!
Through the windows

The horses ran around this feed shed and I spotted them through the window and fired of a couple a shots. Thought it made an interesting composition.

A group of us went out to Calhoun Stables this evening and took some more horse pictures. This was shot at the end of the evening with very little light left.
