One of the personal projects I’ve been exploring over the last year or two is the romance we have with horses in Ireland.

Whether it’s a horse fair in Ballinasloe, a hunt in Meath, racing on the sand at Laytown, harness racing in Portmarnock, one thing that always seems to be consistent is that we do love our horses.

Recently I decided to check out the Dressage scene. The athleticism, agility and beauty of these animals is amazing. Here’s a few shots I did last week. at a private residence in Kildare…

i do find dressage to be quite fussy in general (i was raised with western style so totally biased) BUT these are gorgeous photos. horses are incredible creatures, feats of graceful engineering and with brilliant personalities, too.

Great photos but come on!! Breaking a horse’s spirit so you can make him dance?
No better than making bears dance in the circus, cruel.

is a Hunt, an expression of love of the horse or hatred for the fox..?
