My Senior Horse Session

Stonybrook Connemara's Senior Horse Session



I shot some photos of Whiskey this spring, he has turned 25 and thanks to Sandy taking such good care of him, looks great ( bottom photo).
This led to a Senior Horse photo session for Stonybrook Connemara's Joan Webster.
We had such fun getting her beautiful
*Canal Laurinston ( Chip, below) and Balius Golden Piper (Balie- red halter above).




The first photo is my favorite action shot of Chip floating across the hill.

Web Video Demo

This was bitter sweet for me but I am relieved that Reiner has been adopted to a loving home where he is riden and has equine buddies. These photos are from his Jan departure, I have since heard only good reports on his progress.
