A visit to LASSO horse rescue, in photos

[redroanchronicles]

Yesterday morning I visited Pagosa Springs' local horse rescue, LASSO, to take some pictures of their animals... it's about the only donation I can manage these days, my budget is running so close to red. I had a great time hiking around 60 acres of gorgeous forest on the search for a herd of geldings... who we finally found back at the barn, the little devils! It was well worth it when we finally did find them though, because they're a pretty photogenic bunch. (And we had the pleasant company of an entourage of cats as we tromped around the property in search of horses!) The late-morning light started off okay and turned increasingly brutal as the day ticked on toward noon, but I managed a few good shots.

LASSO is engaged in a hay drive to help support LASSO's own rescues and local horse owners facing financial hardship over the winter. To donate, or for more information on adoptable horses, visit their website at lassohorserescue.org

I find these pictures astounding, but only the first time I see them. Any chance of using a cut tag?

And, just have to say, I don't think it's necessarily that these horses are photogenic, they have dork haircuts and the cat is shaped like a comic strip bully, but you managed to make them all huggable. That's got to be talent on your part.

I have quite enough horse thank you. Especially based on your photos I wish I could adopt on of them....
