Total Beauty

They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I know that's true. But who could ever gaze upon a creature, such as this, a creature so endowed with such grace and power, and not be in total awe.

 

That a creature with such dynamism can at the same time be a creature of such gentle nature and strong spirit coexisting together in one soul.

 

Can you tell I love these animals? I had a photo shoot yesterday. This is Artemis, a Gypsy stallion. I photographed him 3 years ago and his owner hired me again for yesterday's shoot. She told me she wouldn't let anyone photograph him but me. She made me feel so good. So thank you Melissa. I loved seeing this gorgeous animal again.

 

I feel very blessed that I get to photograph so many of these special animals. To me, there isn't really much that compares to them, their presence and inner qualities of fortitude and willingness of spirit. Horses have done a lot for humans over the years, they've been used for both good and bad, entertainment and work, yet they still allow us to be part of their lives and will follow in our direction. Although, don't be fooled. They never forget "the bad" but they always appreciate "the good". They deserve our respect.

 

We owe a lot to horses.
