Willy

He bites, but I don't think he's mean. I just think that he's jealous in the presence
of the larger horses and the attention that they get. Rather than constantly scold
him (he knows he's being ba-a-a-ad!) I made a game out of allowing him to do "fly bys".
While shooting the horses, he would catch my eye and take that as his signal to fake attack...
he'd go by fast and act like he was out for blood. I would pretend to be afraid and then
roughhouse with him as he went by. He seemed much more content with this game. In this shot he is
resting after a session of play. Showing me his better end, or course.

He's lovely - and good for you to be able to see him as he is and value him for it. Beautiful photo of a striking animal. You must spend hours grooming! Voted

I like how this image is structured by the lines, including the hairs. Superb tones.

I'm liking Willy...for the shot, but for more: whatever is in him is so evident in this very proud image. Super shot here!
