We are in need of picts of wild horses to use on our new website - preferably Kigers. We have a whole line of natural products and our focus in on the wild horse. Once we get up and running we will also be donating a percentage of all proceeds to a wild horse santuary.
Our site will also provide articles from many holistic health care professionals all over the world; we will have a photo contest every month with products for prizes; a HUGE resource for folks who adopt wild horses and much much more.
What we need now, is picts of the horses in the wild and natural picts of them - playing, grazing, etc. Any horses eating around or hanging out around flowers, plants...later we will want picts of them involved in training, activities, shows, trail riding and so on.
For any photos we use, we will have a page of "friends" that will give credit, plus links to any websites and a sentence about your farm, training, etc.
There are some wonderful photographers amoung you, so if you have anything you've been hiding from us - please share!!

Still I love this portrait of Wickee just a couple of weeks old.  This is another nice winter picture of my BLM Mustang mare Salsa  Anyway ..I will have to do some more searching later. |

Yes, the credits will be posted on another page, or on the photo itself when applicable - it depends on the size.
72 dpi is the highest res we need....photo no wider than 6 or 7 inches.
Tiffany, Wickee was just meant to be a horsey model! She is so photogenic! Thanks for the use of the winter pict of her...

This is an old favorite of mine of Fantasy ...  I have two versions of this photo one with the tail flipped as shown and one with tail laying on the ground still. Of course the fence could be photo shopped out as well. I am not sure I have one of her shiny and dappled that has a pleasing back ground as well. Usually once let go after a bath her favorite next step is a darn good roll in the dirt. So most clean shots are tied in the barn or up to a fence....LOL ;D I know you don't have to be gray to have dapples, on grays it is sometimes more clearly seen. |
