redroanchronicles: Rhapsody - Gilded (rhapsody)

I'm glad that we had that talk, about my secret love of kids. (Or at least kids on horses.) Now I feel I can be completely honest with you, and that means admitting that although I go to horse shows with the aim of selling parents on prints of their children riding horses, what I really love is taking pictures of just the horses.





I love their faces. I love their manes and tails and the various fancy and non-fancy variations thereof.





I've never been much for bling, but today I LOVE THE BLING, because it makes the photos so interesting.





I love the solid horses, and the paint horses...





I even love the ponies with tiny little people on top.



I love the looks on their faces, and I love imagining what they're thinking. Are they just gliding along, performing by reflex while their minds are daydreaming away? Are they taking mental notes on their latest novel? Are they thinking wistfully of hay fields and sunshine, or are they concentrating on annihilating the competition?





I especially love the details. You might have noticed. I sort of have a thing for the close-up.









[Edit: I failed to mention that you can find the full (very, very full) gallery of images from this latest playday here. I also got some great shots at the previous playday, which you can find here.]

I'm building a 150 by 260 ft roping arena (don't look at me, I ride english). It should be large enough to do pretty much anything we need to. I have a perfect site for a semi-public arena. Right next to the paved road, has water and power available, drains perfectly, and has plenty of room for parking. It will be available by subscription to the community here. The Jr Rodeo folks are planning to use it, and eventually I hope to find a trainers from other disciplines to do weekly or monthly clinics.

I'll have a "Grand Opening" event with a playday. I won't decide when until we get the fence up and some footing on the way. Footing will be 4 inches of sand.
