(18,760 posts)Not usually, which is why an unexpected delay can make it seem like there's something wrong with the post.
I've trained myself to wait a little while before posting to say that I can't see an image, because you just never know.

(14,091 posts)Not to take anything away from the photo, I am amazed that the rear legs look like one from your angle, and please comment on the horse shoes. I have never seen anything like them.
But once again, a great moment and subjects done proud.

With regard to the milk crate Besides standing, I used to shoot sometimes while kneeling, framing vertically. Can't get up off the ground any longer, so sitting's a good compromise. The picture was taken in my wife's arena, amongst a slew of other obstacles in addition to the jump setup. However, I had but the one milk crate and much less choice of shooting angles. Fortunately, it worked.

(1,369 posts)... she's less than 14 hands then? She looks like she has a strong quarter horse bloodline.
My first horse was a 14.2 hands jughead brown pinto mustang with a watch eye and a brand on his butt, H Bar E. His name was Patch, and even after 60-odd years, I still miss him.

(6,047 posts)Once a horse is part of your heart they don't let go even unto death. I hope you have fond memories of your Patch. Thank You GiqueCee.

(1,369 posts)... she is a beautiful girl. I wish you all the best. I have neighbors with horses, and I always have carrots for them, and exchange nostril blows to bond with them. I'm a bit too old for riding anymore, but I love to be near them when I can, and I delight in coming home smelling like horse!
George McGovern
(6,047 posts)board horses here too and I love their nostril blows. We are quite familiar with "smelling like horse." It's great that you keep a supply of carrots on hand.
