Lazy Summer Days
The ponies are slowly coming back into work after their short Christmas break. Well at least Shiloh and Flame are, Tessa, Jackson and Mia are enjoying a bit of a holiday.
Horses
Tessa and Jackson
The golden hour is the most beautiful time of day for horse portraits, especially when they have shiny summer coats 🙂 These two are an odd couple – Tessa would much prefer her own company to that of other horses (she is a princess with a princess attitude afterall), but …
