"Fortunate Harmony" indeed...

My first real experience with an actual PHOTO SHOOT setting was in May, 2010, with my beautiful friend Abby and her three-year old Morgan mare, Fortunate Harmony... we call her Minnie.

I've worked with Abby & Minnie since our first year in vet school... I've watched them come from scared-to-walk-to-the-arena-alone to riding-over-cross-rails-at-a-confident-trot.  I am so proud of Abby for stepping up to the challenge of training a young horse (especially such a smart, sassy one as Minnie!!) for the first time. She has done a wonderful job, and as of Summer 2010, they've far outgrown me!

Being outgrown is bittersweet - I cant help but to be sad about all the progress that I'll miss from here, but the sadness is far outweighed by how proud and satisfied I am with the trainer that Abby has become, and the well mannered, beautiful mare that Minnie has grown into. Hurrah!!

These are my favorite pictures from my Three-Year Photo Shoot with Abby D. & Fortunate Harmony (aka Minnie!)... Abby's boyfriend Jon and their sweet Burmese Mountain Dog, Sedona joined us too!























Abby's pictures will always be free. ;-)
