Fiona & Ollie | Farewell in the Fairy Garden | Ebenezer horse photoshoot

Fiona first met her beautiful paint gelding, Ollie, when she was 9 years old, and their partnership had developed until they reached 2* eventing. But Fiona’s university demands made it difficult to give all three phases of eventing the attention they deserved when training. Ultimately, she had to make the heart-wrenching decision to sell him.

Davina | Horse Christmas Wreath photoshoot | 2020

And for once I don’t mean COVID-19… I’m talking Christmas. I confess, I’m a Christmas-aholic.

In late February I had the pleasure of meeting Emma and her 14 year old Paint / Thoroughbred gelding ‘Blue Mtn HezTwoBobsWorth’ or as we know him, Bob!
