Equestrian Journey: Taking Pictures

Taking Pictures

Sometimes taking pictures of a highly active, playful colt can be difficult!! It never fails when I zoom in he gallops too close and when I zoom out he bolts down the paddock! Crazy colt. Other times however pictures that might be considered bad actually turn out really cool! I love this one!

Sorry I haven't been posting and I missed Donkey Day again. Haven't felt great, but things are getting better so no big deal. :) I'll try to get something interesting posted tomorrow.

Great picture :) I have lots of cool pics of Star's nose where she makes a beeline for me and pokes it on the end of the camera :D

because you got his eye, it doesn't looks so much like a mistake as a planned photo. I like his neck and mane.

Name: Led Zeppelin
Nicknames: Zep
Sire: Unknown (Standard Donkey)
Dam: Unknown (Standard Donkey)
Breed: Standard Donkey
DOB: 2007
Height: N/A
Weight: N/A
Color: Gray (what do you call the donkey color??)

Date Aquired: My dad rescued/bought him shortly before I brought Chrome home, but he gave him to us on 1-18-10.

Likes: Treats, forehead scratches, his buddies and braying early in the morning.
Dislikes: Being handled at all (his first three years were spent in someone's backyard never being touched), sudden movements and sometimes his bratty pasture mate Chrome. :D

I'm in my thirties, live in the USA and I love horses (obviously). I've been obsessed with Friesians (that's Chrome's purebred Friesian sire in the above picture) for over ten years. I started riding horses when I was five and always had horses from then until 2007 when I found myself without one. I wanted a Friesian, but the budget wouldn't allow for it so I started looking at crosses. I found Chrome (Friesian/Arabian) and I haven't regretted it for a second. I bought him as a five month old weanling in 2009 and I've done all of his training myself. The blog is about our continued journey together as I attempt to make him my dream all around horse who can do anything from dressage, competitive trail riding, driving, mounted archery, working equitation and anything else we want to try. He's still very green and we obviously have a long way to go, but you're welcome to follow along on our journey. I also love dogs, art, photography, writing, reading, fishing, biking, camping, archery and many other things. You can learn more about me on my About Me page, my Equestrian Bucket List page and my FAQ page.
