Up until the 1900s, horses were the primary mode of transportation that humans had been using for centuries, and as such, humans have developed a natural respect for the grace, majesty and helpfulness of horses. Horses also present a great opportunity for photographers, because they are large enough that they can easily be photographed, but they are also sometimes unpredictable and offer a variety of situations in which to be photographed.
In this post, we’re showcasing the majesty of equine photography by rounding up 30 awesome horse photographs.

Some nice evocative photos here. Shame some many are overblown by ridiculous amounts of retouching and HDR techniques. The hand on the computer has overplayed the skill of capturing the moment. That leaves me cold.

My Favorite: Double Trouble by leesamaree
What dream life, living in the valleys on a farm with horses and all kinds of animals.So close to the nature, so serene.
Excellent photography.
I don’t know why but I really like “horses” very much. They have always been very best friend of humans and they always look very calm to me 🙂
