I saw these horses for the first time during a trip home a year ago….

They were a marvelous pair, romping around the yard in a playful mother and son canter or rolling in the grass to scratch their backs, and I was determined to catch them with a photograph.

Sadly, when I saw them during my current visit in their carefree moods, I wasn’t without a camera, but I was on my way to run an errand. Each time. And when I stopped to take a proper image with either my camera phone or my DSLR, they posed like this…

…not exactly frolicking about, but what the hell…

…how’s that for a horse story?
