I am so blessed to be surrounded in this lifestyle and seeing all the unique features and attitudes of every horse I encounter. These are a few of the... Continue Reading →
There are some moments you catch so perfectly that you just have to admire them a little longer than others. This was such a fun shoot at Mountain Sky Ranch in Emigrant, Montana. I got to enjoy a beautiful view and watch what the wranglers do in their off time.
