Sunday Stills In Motion



This is "Cougars Gold".
He is owned by a sweet friend of mine that moved out of state this past summer. I moved him for her to a new location, then documented his arrival and first playful jaunts into one of his paddocks. Then I sent her some hard copies of him and she was soo sweet to say, "they had great movement...they captured him perfectly."
He is a lovely creature! Enjoy!

Thanks for the visit, love your blog :) beautiful pics and horses. Noticed the Istabraq print now there was a little tiger of a horse :)))

Gail said...

The pictures did capture his movement. Good pictures and a magnificent animal too.

Blue Eyed Tango said...

What a nice looking guy. He reminds me of my two. Horses are hard to photograph when in motion and get clear shots! Great job! Your friend was right, you did capture him nicely!

Lori Skoog said...

That middle picture is really something...you really caught the beauty of this horse.

The Wife said...

Great job!

CTG Ponies said...

He's gorgeous and you captured him perfectly.

Mellimaus said...

WOW those are BEAUTIFUL pics! Great job! What kind of camera do you use?

Shirley said...

Nicely done; almost monochromatic with the colour of the horse matching the background.

Pete said...

Beautiful horse. Love the second one.

Tracey said...

What a lovely horse. I like the middle shot where he's all rounded up and you can see him about to do cross overs with his front legs as he changes direction.

jane augenstein said...

Wow, that is one beautiful horse! Great pictures!!! :-)

Happy to be living on a Sunday 1st of march said...

Good Sunday to Ya'all
Thanks...I may not have even posted him if it were not for His Owner mentioning it caught the essence of him.

I, at present, only use a Digital "Point and Shoot"!
It does have many settings though, and I am trying new things all the time.

I admit I am not a horse person - I find them intimidating, but I feel you captured the motion wonderfully, and I don't think I've ever seen a horse with such distinctive coloring - beautiful! Also love the background on your blog.

He is beautiful. He reminds me a little of my Palomino morgan mare with his beautiful coloring.
I wanted to say I love your blog header photo and the quote there. I'm going to remember it for a long time. Horses are such a special presence in our lives.

My favorite all time motion would be horse pics, that's for sure. What a striking fellow this one is.

I adore horses and dogs (we have both!) and love your motion shots here, esp the first one. He's a beaut!
