On the dog-walk, I could see the horses and ponies in the distance so I went over to talk to them hoping I could get some nice photos.
Vitamin strolled towards me. I have no idea why. I wasn’t carrying food but she is nosey at the best of times.
She was looking gorgeous. I always think Vitamin is very photogenic. Possibly one of the most beautiful mares I have ever owned.
Not bad for 31 years old. Such presence and she always stands very upright. Her trot is jaw-droppingly incredible too.
Vitamin has always been beautiful.
I think this is the best photograph of any horse or pony I have ever taken – it was Vitamin in her youth. I think it’s her eyes. Definitely her eyes. They have such emotion and clarity. I remember so clearly taking that photo knowing at the time it would be a good one.
It’s nice to look back sometimes.

Oh, those beautiful flowers: it must be amazing seeing the bluish purple and the yellow (if they bloom at the same time) together. I know so little about anything equine, but she is arresting to say the least: the hair, the gentle, intelligent eyes, & that stance. To think that she is 31 is just amazing.
I hope that your buddy with the soft tissue trauma is healing nicely. Again, Vitamin is a true model, but the photos, as always, are lovely.
she is so very beautiful! isn’t it wonderful that she is still with you.
Yes, she is certainly striking, in youth and in age.
But give the photographer some credit, too. 🙂
That’s a great earlier days shot of Vitamin, but I though your best were some of Indie Ping Pong in his prime, some of them really memorable years on.
That’s the picture I have out most from the calendar I got years ago! (I cut off the months part and now it’s a pony picture display.)
It’d be interesting if you could get a new photo in the same pose – I bet the silver on her face would be stunning!
Miss Vitamin most certainly still has the “IT” Factor.
Vitamin is lovely, as are you photos – thanks for that!
