Bree and Roxy (Horse portraits on Cortes Island)

Sunset light in the late spring is one of my favorite things. Also beautiful human beings showing how much they love their animal friends. Bree has had Roxy as her horse and best friend since she was nine years old. She begged her mom for a horse to take the place of her dreaded piano lessons. So, miracle, her Mom let her sell her piano and buy a horse — Bree has never looked back.I won't pretend to speak the lingo, but Bree and Roxy have won all sorts of National competitions in their time together. And it shows. To the casual and ignorant observer (i.e me and Alex), we could not see any indication of Bree giving Roxy any direction whatsoever, and yet, if I told Bree, "can you move just two inches this way," Roxy, with Bree riding her, would literally scoot sideways one inch.Bree and Roxy blew us away with their love for each other. We were honored to take photos of this very special connection.Save
