Sunshine and horses

 What can be better than that?

I had a great day yesterday helping Shayla out on the farm. First thing was discovering newborn piglets! The pot bellied pigs had a new litter, 5 little ones. So cute! (Is it called a litter with pigs? Enquiring minds want to know. )

Then we had a great photo shoot session with Shayla's young stallion, whose barn name is now Rex - and it suits him. He has learned some manners and was quite well behaved and easy to do the photo shoot. Very obliging young fellow as we  repositioned him many times for that perfect shot. 

He sure is a handsome fellow! I love those ears, just like Beamer's. 

Then we turned him loose in the hope of a couple of action shots....

and he didn't disappoint! He discovered the dirt pile too...

After that we turned Boe out to play, along with his little pony buddy, Bean. 

Taking photos at mid day in the bright sun with the brilliance of the snow made it a bit challenging to get a good light reading while panning for action, hence Boe looking darker than he actually is. Those two were really moving!

The day was topped off by the full moon, it must have been a supermoon as it was just huge. Ted came to pick me up just as the moon topped the trees. 

What a great day! I thoroughly enjoyed having a full day of doing farm stuff and horse stuff. Pigs, dogs, cats, horses, and oh yes- goats! Let's not forget them! Here is Tucker, the dwarf goat who is so darn cute I had to get his photo too.
