Today’s trail ride field trip was a resounding success. Remy and her new beau Lancaster went on the trailer beautifully.
It had been a while since Lancaster had been on a trailer and he was wigging out a bit. Flinging hay all over the trailer, I could see Remy give him “the Look.” You know..the look your mother gives you when you’re misbehaving. The look that tells you to behave. Yep, Lancaster got “The Look”, not once but several times. Didn’t stop him from being silly though.
When arriving at Governor’s Bridge Natural Area, there were three bird photographers that were out early searching for warblers. A bit of jealousy passed through me, but today was to enjoy the ponies.
The marsh seemed softly like a Monet painting, and the corn fields had been long harvested. The old barns still stood steady with mother nature taking over its landscape.
A great hour’s trail ride and we returned home. This time with Lancaster behaving himself in the trailer. Guess all those dirty looks worked.
Hey ! She just bit me !

Is that really a photo on the top? That is so soft and pretty. Love the barn one too!!
Indeed it is ! I took this with my Canon G12, minor exposure edits in Lightroom, then sent to Nik Color Efex Pro for more editing.
This has tons of filters on it, including Classic Soft Focus
Wow! Amazing job. I’m just starting to get into photography. I’ve got lots to learn yet. Keep the pics coming!
Beautiful captures and sounds like quite the place to visit 🙂
Thanks Andy ! It is a really fun place and super for riding. Lots of fields and dirt roads to gallop on.
I do miss the simpler days when I used to ride horses back in Chile..ah.. 🙂
Beautiful photo’s!
Thanks Esmee!
Must have been a lovely trip. And with horses, lucky you!
One of these days I’ll get you on that horse Bente ! it was great fun. BTW, I’m really loving your work. I’m so jealous of the beautiful scenery you have where you live, and such personality and character.
Gorgeous ;photos, Emily. What a great day you must have had. 🙂
We really did, it’s been a long time since I’ve been out on a pony field trip. Now the weather is perfect. BTW, owe you an email. I want to make sure I have the right picture for you.
Very nice post 🙂
Thanks ! Amazing how something so simple people enjoy. Appreciate your comment.
Anytime
So beautiful – the colours in the first image are so soft and perfect. And I love how you chose to edit the barn photo. 🙂
Thanks Sheryl, that barn was a bit challenging in what to do with it. Somehow that affect worked for it.
Aah, fur children… Aren’t they fun?! 🙂
They are ! And my girl has so much personality it’s too fun.
It certainly looks stunning with all the autumn colours already showing through! Nice horses too!
Thank you Fatima ! I am spoiled with the critters and you can feel the crispness in the morning air.
Sounds as if you enjoyed a nice ride. Question, do horses get tired from riding in a trailer and keeping their balance as the trailer goes down the road? Does it affect them like people walking on a boat, you know, the sea legs thing?
I’ve been good and taken my girl on just short distances. But I’d imagine of course they get tired from all the continuous balancing and movement. When they get off though, no sea legs apparent. The short answer from a long story. 🙂
the fist picture is really beautiful, it reminds me of an art piece, i love the soft colours!
Thank you so much Evi ! So wonderful you enjoyed the marsh.
Emily, I love the photo of the barn, so beautiful !
