Hanoverian and Thoroughbred
Hanoverian and Thoroughbred – I just love horses. Most of you know I raised many of them in my younger years and now I love photographing them. I actually wasn’t into photography back when I had horses. That is when I should have started though, that would have been fun.
These two beautiful animals are from the Mobile Al mounted police department. I made a portrait of these two and sent it to the department. They loved it and said thank you, plus they told me the horse on the left is a Hanoverian, and his name is Avalon. He retired this year. The one on the right is named Papa and he is a thoroughbred Percheron mix.
They were in a parade where I took these photos. I was watching these two horses and they seemed like buddies and were just hanging out in line with the other horses and their police officers.
When it comes to getting just the right shot, I take a lot of photos waiting for just that right look, and these two gave it to me as they were touching noses in my last photo. That is the one I picked to make the portrait.
As if they have a language all their own, a moment of beauty.

Golden rule of photography… never reveal you take more than one shot, you wait patiently and click at the exact perfect moment hehehehe. Linda used to teach horseback riding for the Girlscouts so she is quite comfortable being around these big beasts…me.. not so much. I don’t like things that could buck me into next year if I looked at them cross.
That they can do, I have experienced being thrown and stepped on a few times back in the day. Now, I would rather just photograph them.
I love these
They are beautiful horses 😊
Does my heart good, Sandra. Thank you
You are so welcome RJ, animals have a way of calming us, especially horses.
These horses are so beautiful. That was nice of you sending the photos – I am sure they were grateful for them. I’m glad you learned these best buddies’ names too!
So beautiful ! And that last photo is just gorgeous and so sweet ! Thank you Sandra ! Have a great evening 🐎🧡🧡🙏
They are beautiful horses, thank you Francine 😊
Sweetly gorgeous.
Oh I wish I could have seen your portrait of them, Sandra. I also wished I was into cameras when I had horses. I don’t have a picture of any of them.
Me to Don, I took photos of mine, but I really did not know what I was doing with a camera back then. Lots of blurry photos.
