Valiant and Evan

We had an appointment at 11:00am with Rachel Sauder of momentscapturedbyrachel.com to have the boys pictures taken before the fair. Steven arrived before 10:00am to get them cleaned up when the rain started. We were hoping it would stop and while waiting moved a round bale into Ribbon's paddock, then checked all the other paddocks. The rain was coming down pretty steady when both boys were brought in and tied for their beauty job. Evan's mane is so thick we didn't have time to finish it but did get all the hay out of that and both boy's tails. Rachel was called about 10:45am to see if she still wanted to come and when she gave the ok, we were pretty thrilled. Karin showed up just as we were ready to take them out to the field and was given Valiant to lead. We snapped a few pictures while Rachel was setting up. Below is Valiant looking majestic as always.

And then for Evan, he is such a beauty, we are so excited to see how he turns out.

Both boys are only 19 months old and already look fabulous in our eyes. Both are so well behaved Rachel got some nice pictures. Then it was time to work on the video. The boys were let loose and they played and played, biting each others necks, legs, rumps and pulling tails. Most of this was captured on the video. It was pretty funny, Rachel made the comment they are typical teen age boys, they just can't help the teasing. She would know she has 4 boys.
Instead of a nice video of them showing off their lofty trot and fantastic canter we got the boys play fighting and Evan bucking and Valiant pulling Evan's tail, oh well the rain had slowed to a sprinkle but we were still getting wet so quit.

  1. watching the video makes me realize that there's NO way to capture that kind of movement in a still shot...just doesn't do these guys justice. They are AWESOME...look out horse world..HERE COME THE BOYS!!!
