Horse Photo Session Gone Wrong

Horses can be very inquisitive, and taking their photos is always easier with an assistant. Henry looks like he can be quite the character, and a real looker too!

Hi SherriA, I use to take horse pictures at shows and I used a little CLICKER like you use to get in a Cracker Jack box. Once you get the horse set up just click the clicker a few times and the ears will come up forward and they will look in your direction. It worked for me just about every time. Really nice horse.
I tried to use things that I knew he would perk his ears for, like the wrapper on peppermint candy and the rustling of a plastic grocery bag. It worked at least some of the time to get his ears forward. I also used the continuous shutter release to help make sure I was able to capture when the ears were forward. Thanks for the tip. I'll look for one of those clickers.

He's a very curious one for sure. And he is a little bit of a character. He's lost some of it now in his advancing age, but he is still beautiful in my eyes. :)

I thought I might try to photograph my horse, Henry, today. I quickly realized that it really takes two people to get a horse in the right position, even with a camera remote.
So here are three photos that lets you know the trouble I had this morning.
Any comments/tips on the last photo would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. :)

That's OK I have the same problem with dogs and cats!
