So just over a week ago (19/4) I had a photo shoot to do of the pure Arabian mare Noran Anniversaryy. Boy was I excited when I saw she is a very dappled grey!

The shoot went very well despite the threat of rain! We had lovely gray skies which gave me near perfect lighting for much of the shoot, although I had periods of dazzling sunshine to contend with occasionally, which blew out the exposure on some of the pics. I was REALLY hoping for some wind to get some artistic tail shots - I got a couple but it died off far too quickly.. bugger!

Katie and her mare Annie were impeccably presented which made my job so much easier (thank you!) and they are such a sweet pair to photograph. You can see how much Katie loves her horse. The property was just gorgeous too!

They will be a stunning pair to watch for in the ring - just gorgeous under saddle, and I do hope they try liberty - boy that mare can turn it on, just like her sire! The Night of Stars is coming up guys!! *hint hint*

The only downer was I'd hoped to have a new camera for this shoot - will definitely have a 40D for the next one though.
