The best way to enjoy them - free running!

What a beauty. Did you have to use a long lens? Or are they used to humans?

This was shot with 24mm @ f1.8.

There were some cows and 4 horses running over the street and on the field. The cows were shy, the horses and especially this one was very trusting - looks like he was posing for me. After taking some portrait shots, we were neck to neck :-) An incridible experience.

We had a lot of fun at this shooting

How delightful! Thanks for sharing this tongue photo also - shows the character well.

I got to photograph a shetland pony in England. It had no fear of us.

In the south we stayed some days at a farm - and the farmer told us a lot about them and the relationship to them. And he advised us - never call them pony ;-)

*smile* (no one wants to be called pony - like being called junior, right? haha)

What a shot! :)))

:-) this horse seems even to know about "angle the front leg" for a pose

Indeed! :))

Da mir die Gegebenheiten vor Ort nicht bekannt sind, habe ich mich im ersten Moment gefragt, ob es dem Tierchen nicht gut ging. Eine andere Welt als bei uns..so, wie du es beschreibst, muss es wirklich eine ganz besondere Situation gewesen sein :) Wie schön! Das untere Bild sorgt dann für einen morgendlichen Lacher!

Vor allem Schafe und Pferde laufen in den ländlichen Regionen frei, Kühe sind eher selten, und die von Norwegen geschenkten Rentiere sind invasiv und breiten sich immer mehr aus.
Wir hatten viele Begegnungen mit Pferden - und alle waren ruhig und gelassen.

most beautiful this horse portraiT

They are fascinating horses - thank you.

This is an excellent portrait of this wonderful and versatile breed!
