I spent part of Saturday at the Eastern PA Spring Horse Expo held at Ag Hall in the Allentown Fairgrounds. They had a handful of horses outside with demonstrations in a paddock area. Most of the show was indoors and featured vendors selling anything and everything having to do with Equestrian pursuits.
I had never photographed a horse before so I figured I’d give it a shot. I think, if I heard correctly, the horse on the right is a Gypsy Horse and she was “with child”. She had a beautiful mane of hair and with all the wind we had on Saturday, it would blow back and forth like a super model throwing her hair side to side. I think I’ve been around horses less than an hour in my entire life so this was a cool experience for me. The horses they had there were each unique in their own way and all very friendly.
I wish I had the chance to photograph a horse like this out in the open field. With the Sigma 10-20mm super wide angle, a shot like this needs a nice open pasture behind the subject to really shine.
