Native Project Goals for 2020

January 15, 2020

This is the time of year when Pony Portrait has the lowest nunber of bookings as people always assume that images will be better when the sun is shining, and although that is not necessarily the case, most people want their photographs taken when their ponies are looking their best! Rather than worry about paid portrait sessions at this time I will instead concentrate on completing my native sessions. I did really well this time last year, and you can see from my Native page that I have a good selection of images for some of our native breeds.

This year, I am looking to fill the gaps. That means I want to photograph more Welsh ponies, particularly Section As, Bs and Cs. I am also looking for Dales ponies and I would love to find an Eriskay pony but that will probably have to wait until I next go to Scotland!

This is Bugsy, a lovely example of a Welsh Section D that I photographed in 2019.

I hope to see Onyx, the Fell colt again this year when the weather improves so I can get some better photographs of him when he is less muddy and hopefully a little easier to handle!

Please get in touch if you are in East Sussex and have a registered native breed pony that you would like me to photograph.

Well done to Laura and Judi for some great rounds at a rather wet and windy Golden Cross BS Show today.
Merry Christmas!
Great morning at Golden Cross yesterday. Well done to the team from Starnash.

Behind the scenes at Felbridge NSEA. Well done to the Eastbourne College team for winning the County Championships on Saturday.
The beautiful Troy at my visit to @starnashfarm last week. The rainy weather didn't stop me and instead moved to inside for photos where I was able to capture some lovely head shots of the horses over the stable doors.
A few weeks ago Tiger Lily had a session with equine therapist, Elaine Mariani. The session was great for loosening up Tiger Lily's muscles and joints and making her much more comfortable. Head over to my blog to read all about Tiger Lily's session.
We are happy to welcome this cute Welsh Section A to our stables.  She is very photogenic so I hope to post lots more images of her in the future!
Don’t forget with half term coming up this month it is the perfect opportunity to book in a photo shoot with your equine companion!

Katie won her free photo shoot as a prize in the @chiddinglyhorseshow in July. This is her favourite image that she has chosen to have printed and framed.
Beautiful day for the BS Show at Golden Cross today.
