Standardbred Winter Gala Horse Show | South West Photography

Sunday, May 24th, 2009

The Standardbred Pleasure and Performance Horse Association of WA held the annual Winter Gala at the Perth Horse and Pony Club grounds in Herdsman.  I am totally biased towards the breed (having two of my own) and I strongly believe that they are *the* most under-rated breed in the horse world.  Thankfully more people like those that turned out for this show are seeing the incredible possibilities with this versatile breed as pleasure and preformance horses.

And I have to say that the presentation of these Standardbreds is absolutely impeccable and puts alot of other ‘fancy’ breeds to shame!

My Friend Flicka | Horse Photography

Tuesday, December 30th, 2008

After many, many years without a horse in sight, I have finally ventured back into the saddle after a lovely bay mare unexpectedly came into my life:)  Her name is Flicka, and she is an 18yo Standardbred…I know I couldn’t help myself, but she is fit, sound and you know what happens to 18yo horses that no-one wants:(  Poor girl has had a very hard life until six months ago, but her luck has changed now and she has a home for life.

LOL, although it dosn’t look like it in this first image, she is one of the most un-photogenic horses that I have ever met!  Of course my itty bitty point and shoot camera dosn’t compare to my dslr either, so I will have to take the big camera out to get some decent shots.
