Behold the Beauty
The horse, with beauty unsurpassed, strength immeasureable, and grace unlike any other, still remains humble enough to carry a man upon his back.
Since I have begun this journey into the world of online horse blogs, I have enjoyed perusing the sites of many horsey writers. It is amazing how much great information is available and how many wonderful people are doing the very same thing that I have come to love so much! In my travels through the World Wide Web, I recently came across a website that I felt compelled to pass along. Sarah Andrews has a riding journal blog in which she posts details about her training sessions with her horses, titled Rock and Racehorses: The Blog. I have really enjoyed following her riding pursuits and have even picked up a few exercises to try with Tiny. But the real reason I bring up this site is the photography. Her photos are what drew me in to her site and they are what have captivated me since. Upon reading her bio, I discovered that Sarah is a professional photographer of horses and rock concerts. Well, no kidding!! She has a phenomenal eye and the ability to capture the most intriguing photos. I have since visited her photography website (I’m not stalking her, I promise! It’s listed in her bio!), Rock and Racehorses and her Flickr photostream. My favorite photos are here and here. Although there are so many fantastic ones, it would be hard to choose only one favorite. I desperately wanted to post some of her photos here to give you a taste, but I haven’t been able to receive permission so you’ll just have to check out the sites for yourself. Even if you’re not a horse person, you WILL appreciate the beauty in these shots. I promise.

I agree! She has inspired me to try to take better photos of my own horse, I know that!

You are right – her photos are amazing – I still have to see more. Michelle, we vacation in St. Petersburg. Where are you? For some reason I thought you were in Arizona! lol!

This website has been haunting me for weeks now! I want to buy all of her photos and hang them all over my house! She truly captures the beauty of the horse.
