It's a dog. That's the Feel Good Friday post, because it's impossible to not feel good when you're looking at a picture of a dog.

Please share a photo of your dog in the comments ❤️🐶

This is my childhood dog, Cooper. We lost him 6 years ago and he lived to the very old age of 16 (roughly, he was a rescue). I miss him every day.

1. Take the Edge Off - a calm horse is a happy horse. Lunging, feeding them before hand, and maintaining their normal routing all help to keep your horse calm.
2. Avoid Scheduling Around Mealtimes. As said above, don't disrupt their routine - especially meal time.
3. Monitor the Mood - stay aware of your horses mood and keep your photographer in the loop.
4. Lather Up - grooming helps but a bath before your session is best.
5. Bring Out the Show Sheen (and the bug spray) - you want them clean and shinny, and not bothered by the bugs. But if you plan to ride them ba****ck - don't spray the saddle area, or you might slide off!
6. Pay Attention to the Details - hooves, eyes, ears, tails, nostrils. These are often overlooked in regular grooming but important for those photoshoot close ups.
7. Stay Flexible and Patient - I can deal with any behaviourally problematic horse, as long as you stay calm and relaxed. They don't understand what we are asking of them and are always trying their best, even if it can feel frustrating at times. It's a lot easier to photoshop their ears forward than it is to turn a frown into a smile, so try to keep smiling, even if it might feel more like a grimace at times.

Feel Good Friday! It's show season, and I think this photo captures perfectly what it's all about. It doesn't matter how big you're jumping, how long you've been doing this, or what your score is when you come out of the ring. It's all about the people cheering you on and helping you become a better rider.

It's hard enough picking out your outfit, but now you also have to decide what your horse will wear! Both a halter or bridle will look beautiful, and it mostly comes down to personal preference.

A halter is best if you are going to be wearing a casual outfit (jeans and a blouse for example), or if your horse is not a riding horse (young, retired, injured etc.). When picking the halter for your session, remember - leather looks best! Leather keeps it simple and classy.

Bridles are best if you are wearing a riding or dressy outfit, if your horse is a show horse, and if you want photos riding them (ba****ck or with a saddle).

It's always best to have both ready on hand!
It’s easy to switch from a bridle to halter halfway through the session and this lets you have the best of both worlds and appreciate the different looks that a halter and bridle offer! As long as both are clean and properly fitting, they are both sure to accentuate your horse’s natural beauty!

Consider what works best for your horse!
If you know that you will have more control over your horse in a bridle, or maybe they will be more relaxed in a halter, go with the option that will keep them the most comfortable and keep you the most in control. Photoshoots are tricky enough when horses are on their best behaviour, so we want to do everything we can to keep them calm, happy and collected!

Make sure it’s clean and fits properly!
I always say that when you are getting ready for a photoshoot you should think of it like you are getting ready for a horse show. You want everything to be sparkling spotless and to fit perfectly. Dirty and ill-fitting tack is not something that can be fixed in photoshop, so you want to get it right the first time!

Keep it simple!
When possible, use the simplest bit you have, a D-ring or snaffle and avoid any other pieces attached to your tack (bridle charms, name tags etc). Make sure that everything is tucked into the keepers and take the reins off your bridle before we start. Come to the session with a leadrope clipped onto one side of the bit.

As I'm running out of photos to post for Foal Friday that aren't just the same handful of foals over and over again - we are going to switch it up and start Feel Good Fridays! Every Friday I will be sharing something to make you smile. Sometimes it will still be a foal, sometimes it will be a silly moment, sometimes a meaningful story. And, I'll be asking you to comment something positive below, to spread the feel good vibes on Fridays 😁

So to start us off, a horse wearing a cowboy hat - because it is Stampede season! Now I want to hear from you, what is the silliest thing your horse has ever worn? Maybe an all pink outfit on your very manly gelding? Or a silly Halloween costume?

With summer very nearly upon us, it is time to book those equine portrait sessions! We are only blessed with a few short months here when the horses aren’t major fuzz balls, so you won’t want to miss the opportunity of your equine looking their best. But after booking your session, you might be thinking about how best to prepare your horse. The question of what to do with those beautiful locks will probably be one of the first things that comes to mind.

First things first, your horse will look stunning regardless of how you choose to prepare their mane. Equine Portrait sessions are all about capturing your horse at their best and I will achieve this with or without braids.

Braiding (or not) is all about capturing a specific aesthetic in your images. Do you want clean and sleek or ethereal and wild?

you should braid if
• Your horse has a beautiful neck that you want to show off
• You love a detailed braid shot
• You have a hunter or dressage horse

you should leave it natural if
• Your horse has a killer mane (down to the floor, hair goals)
• You ride western
• Your horse’s neck isn’t quite as muscular as you’d like (no judgment here, my horse always looks like a llama!)
• You aren’t confident in your braiding skills and don’t know someone who is an excellent braider
