Bringing the heart, soul and beauty of domestic horses into the light
For centuries, horses have played an integral role within society loyally helping their humans without question from going to battle to being a trusted friend.

I often hear many beautiful stories of horses helping to open the hearts of their owners, heal others or go above and beyond having remarkable adventures with their owners.

Our British weather is very unpredictable, I always do a weather check a few days before the commission, if it’s forecast to be wet and muddy then I always recommend that with reschedule the photography commission.

You also have the option to travel with your horse to a special location too if you prefer.
