Horses, of course!

Last week, my wife and I had the fabulous opportunity to take some photos for a nationally-known horse trainer. Here are a couple of samples from that session...
The photos show 3 Mustangs that were adopted from the wild. They were about 3 or 4 years old when adopted. Wild horses are a problem out west and there is an ongoing annual effort by the Bureau of Land Management to relocate some Mustangs and Burros in order to control the populations.
Please comment! We are learning and need encouragement as well as constructive criticism.

Very enjoyable series! #2 is my favorite of the interaction shots as it seems un-posed and very natural. My favorite of them all is the final shot - great action!

Thanks to all who have commented so far! We had a great time doing this... This lady is special and so are these amazing Mustangs. We had two cameras working and got lots of shots, what I've posted here are some samples of them. What a fun and rewarding day for us!

Your headline had me looking for Mr. Ed (the talking horse from 1960s TV)
Very nice pictures. The only thing I would suggest would be to shoot earlier or later in the day. It looks like these were taken at midday with bright overhead lighting creating harsh and unflattering shadows.
If you shoot in the early morning or late afternoon you will have much more pleasant warm light and sidelighting creating more depth in your pictures

Yes... we knew at the time that the bright, overhead, sun was going to be a problem, especially with her trademark hat... Nothing like bright sun and sharp shadows! But, we went ahead anyway.
We are already planning a later afternoon shoot in order get better light on her face. But, we did have fun and now we know what to expect and how to plan for next time. :thumbup:
