Spotlight: Meadow Creek Farm

On Saturday, I went to Meadow Creek Farm for a photo session. What a lovely farm! The arena, barn, and paddocks were all beautifully maintained. And the horses and owners were fun. I took advantage of the strong October sunlight. The light was intense but the position of the sun changes so quickly at this time of year- we had to move fast every time we set up a new shot.

Here’s Cutsie. She’s a smart, well-trained 20 year old Paint mare. She stood like a pro for her photos- no halter, no bridle. Her right eye is part brown, part blue:

And she can RUN!

Here’s the handsome 6YO QH named Jet. He was so nice to work with until we turned him loose for his liberty photos… then he was jet-propelled!

Jet at sunset- I’ve been practicing my silhouettes quite a bit lately and the big horizon at the farm was perfect for sunset silhouettes.

And this is Angel- she is really sweet and very bonded to her owner. She has the cutest blonde eyelashes and a really cool blaze.

Next weekend, I’ll be at the Breeders’ Cup Steeplechase. A few days later, I’ll be on my way to California for the Breeders’ Cup!
