pretty little things

Aries and Knight Train

pat and i took some shots with these 2 beautiful horses

Aries and Knight Train ... they belong to my step mom sandy

and are 2 of five that currently live in the stables

...it was so much fun to have them as part of the wedding...

♡

sandy wrote up some information on them.

i thought i would be fun to share a little bit about their personalities :)

 

ARIES:

Aries is a buckskin Quarter Horse mare.  21 years old with energy to spare. 

She is the alpha mare in the group and has enormous heart and soul. 

She has a depth and understanding that is hard to explain

and is emotionally attached to her herd.  She loves to be photographed

and is the undisputable queen of the barn. 

She is ridden Western and English and has been in the family for 12 years.

 

KNIGHT TRAIN

KT, as he is fondly called, is a double registered Rocky Mountain and

Kentucky Mountain horse. He is large at 16 hands and recently turned 11. 

KT is the best "ride" of all the horses.  He is calm but exciting on the trail

and is part of an intelligent breed of horse.  He is without a doubt "in charge"

when all the horses are turned out together.  They acknowledge his leadership

and dominance and it is usually enforced by the flick of his ear. 

He is truly the "gentle leader".   He has been in our family for 8-1/2 years.

i made some floral garlands for them and they turned out gorgeous.

i will tell you more about em when i get the professional shots

back from the photographer....they looked stunning!

it was so special to have them as part of our day.

they were SO SO well behaved during photos.

i think they could feel the love :)

hand in hand

...alongside the pasture...

our eyes were half closed in this one so i had to crop it,

but i still think it's beautiful

and i know there are plenty more where this came from.

i just have to be patient :)

you can see one of my heart shaped place cards in the corner.

mister and missus

we were married in the pasture with a rose petal scattered aisle and

we had the most darling officiant. check out her cowboy boots :) love it!

anyways, a few people have asked about seeing photos.

so far, i only have a couple snapped by guests on their phone,

but i hope to have the professional images in the next couple of weeks.

here is one that a dear friend took as we walked out to cat stevens.

unfortunately since i was confined to my bridal suite after everything was set up

i was unable to shoot any of my own...so i am anxiously awaiting photos too:)

hopefully we can see more soon!
