Been looking forward to the future
But my eyesight is going bad
In this crystal ball
It's always cloudy except for
When you look into the past

Fall Out Boy - Thnks Fr Th Mmrs

Okay... First of all, this is owned to all you my watchers and other people who have visited my page, faved and commented my pics. I don't usually think very high of myself or my talents as a photographer, but every fave, comment and watcher have lifted that a little bit and I couldn't believe my eyes when the thousand pageviews broke.
I'm no popular artist or brightest crayon in the box, but I'm very grateful for all attention I got. So, THANK YOU ALL. Many of you are my good friends and that means even more to me.

Secondly, the picture itself. Not one of my best pics ever, but I still think it's worth posting. The weather was _HELL_ without brimstone and fire. It had WATER. Lots and lots of COLD rain and WIND. I felt in my bones, even with all the fat I've collected around them. It was freezing but yet me and Heli were there for hours, taking pics.
Why don't every rider thank their horse like this? You can't hear her from the picture, but she also praised the horse with her voice and walked half of the way like this, petting and praising him.
The picture is taken from this years Breeder's Prize, the horse is young (I think he's 5 or 6) gelding and I was really moved how much this rider praised her horse.
They didn't win, but the rider seemed very proud of the work the horse had done and it really shows. I'm glad there's still riders like this.
