On the dog-walk, I could see the horses and ponies in the distance so I went over to talk to them hoping I could get some nice photos.

Vitamin strolled towards me. I have no idea why. I wasn’t carrying food but she is nosey at the best of times.

She was looking gorgeous. I always think Vitamin is very photogenic.  Possibly one of the most beautiful mares I have ever owned.

Not bad for 31 years old.  Such presence and she always stands very upright.  Her trot is jaw-droppingly incredible too.

Vitamin has always been beautiful.

I think this is the best photograph of any horse or pony I have ever taken – it was Vitamin in her youth.  I think it’s her eyes.  Definitely her eyes.  They have such emotion and clarity.  I remember so clearly taking that photo knowing at the time it would be a good one.

It’s nice to look back sometimes.
