This mare was just released and was trumpeting with excitement as she launched herself at top speed to join her companion, who was waiting for her on the horizon. The expectation of both is blindingly obvious and the inevitable greeting followed only seconds later. I loved being there to capture this moment. It was very special. A sad postscript to this photo - the main subject was put peacefully to sleep last week. I was with her to the very end. RIP my lovely girl as you gallop over the rainbow bridge. <3
