Horses' eyes are so expressive. Giving one an insight, if aware, of their innermost feelings. This is Leader one of our rescues.

Nothing special for real photographers, but I took a photo of a dead leaf and played with my phone's edit features. Took me back in the day when I used to develop my own b&w film, and discovered solarisation!

We have a number of blind horses at the rescue. Each has a close companion (not really a "seeing eye"). In the photo, Velvet on the right is grazing with her companion Billie Jo. They are rarely far apart, & Billie Jo often lets Velvet lead. Familiarity with their paddock is really important.

Gatsby is a semi-feral appaloosa dad (sorry sire) was a welsh pony brought in to add more color to the Appaloosas. He is resting up during the recent hot temperatures and would really love a sponsor. Details on whitebirdapps.com

We renamed my boy Clipper (was Boss) on the left, with his friend Pepper, a leopard Appaloosa. Clipper is also a, but not quite as spectacular, Appy.
