A laughing horse and four beautiful horses on a stormy night!

Our six neighbor's horses were reduced to four.  It may be because two of them got our of the neighbor's fence recently and had to go back to where they came from. Who knows! When I saw the four horses close to our fence, my plans were to get this image I envisioned of four beautiful horses lined up behind the fence, but that's not what I got!  Because the weather forecast was stormy, the clouds were awesome!  It was windy and the sun was setting quickly.  I grabbed some horse treats and quickly went to work!  I have included my favorites from this horse photo session in hopes that you will enjoy them also!

Horsing around

I was petting Reese Cup at the fence when Ace who is the boss of the pasture came up.  Reese turned to Ace and it looked like she was saying, "You're still the boss."  They get along so much better now than they used to.  Thank God for rain this season as they have been having their fill of pasture grass.  They look so strong and muscular!  Reese Cup's coat turned a pretty brown color this summer. I looked up her color and it officially called "dark bay."

 The image below was actually the first shot taken but I wanted to put the intimate one first.  Reese Cup saw me and decided to come over to me.

 Here she is hoping I had a treat but instead gets a closeup portrait taken.  She is being distracted as right after this shot she gallops over to our new neighbors who have two horses.

 She is galloping over to the neighbors next door to spend time with their horses.

Ace decides to join her.  Here he is starting to trot.

 Ace is galloping over now.  If you look closely, you can see Reese communicating with the neighbor's horse in the top center of this image below.
