You'll Never See Another One of These From Me

I've been looking at all the beautiful shots of horses on here and was inspired to give it a try. I went to a local stable and asked permission. He told me I could take a few shots of the horses outside but not to disturb them.
I walked over to the corral and this beautiful brown horse came walking right over. I know the first rule in portraits is to relax your model so I put my hand out. He sniffed my empty hand and then bit me.
As if that wasn't bad enough, the owner heard me yelling and came running over. I told him what happened and he threw me out for upsetting the horse. Now I know why there aren't any cowboys in New England.

Is he smiling?

Thank you. He didn't break the skin so I didn't need a shot. I wasn't expecting it so I let out a pretty good yell. The horse took off running and I caught hell. There goes my career as a horse photographer.

You're right, Photo Girl. I thought I would get some sympathy at home but my wife still hasn't stopped laughing. She called all of our kids to tell them.

You're as bad as my wife, Mile. She can't stop laughing either.

Don't worry, Linda, you're in good company. The horse and my wife are still laughing too.

Thanks, Mile. From now on, I'm only taking pictures of animals without teeth.
