Skyler may be the youngest rider in this project, but she’s arguably one of the gutsiest, bravest riders! Not only does she ride English hunter/jumper, but she also does barrel racing and vaulting! She has such a sweet, sincere connection with Koda. A few times during our shoot Koda was unsure about something, and all […]

Allyson giving Poncho a kiss at Legacy Riding Stables
The Post >

One of the main reasons I found Allyson and Poncho’s story so compelling was that Poncho was rescued solely to be rescued. At 11.2hh, he is the smallest pony to be included in The Second Chances Project. All of the other horses were rescued to be ridden – Poncho was only rescued to be rescued. […]

Brielle and Stormy on the track at Farmer Jack's
The Post >

Of all the pairs in The Second Chances Project, Brielle & Stormy’s story is perhaps the most dramatic. Brielle met Stormy when he was just a young horse on the track, and felt an instant connection with him. However, Stormy passed through multiple homes and owners before Brielle was finally able to rescue him. Now […]

Emily and Lola at Pandora Stables
The Post >

Get your Kleenex ready. Every time I reread Emily and Lola’s story I tear up. From the slaughter pen to the Dixon Oval at Devon – that’s Lola’s trajectory. Now living her best life at the beautiful Pandora Stables in Perkasie, PA, Lola has been a constant in Emily’s life throughout her teenage and adult […]

Mackenzie kissing Eeyore's nose at Weathervane Stables
The Post >

Mackenzie & Eeyore are the final pair in The Senior Horse Project. I knew when I started the project that there was always the risk of something happening to one of these senior horses before I was able to publish. Before sharing their story, I do want to disclose that unfortunately, Eeyore passed away in […]

The Post >

Alissa & Hizzy are the second to last pair from The Senior Horse Project! Alissa and her family own and run Laurel Nobilis Arabians in Newtown, PA, and I was so excited to tour their gorgeous farm and meet their Arabians. As someone who has owned and loved an Arabian, I know it takes a […]

Joanne and Brandy are the next pair in The Senior Horse Project. I photographed Joanne with her two mares, Brandy and Splash, at Forest Edge Farm in Little Egg Harbor Township, NJ. While Joanne and Brandy were not originally participants in the project, when Joanne asked to be included, I was so happy to oblige. […]
