Christmas photoshoot gone wrong!

[JJS]

Seeing as it's Flower's first Christmas, I thought it would be cute to try and get some photos similar to the ones I got of my boys three years ago. Those were as easy as pie to take, and I ended up with multiple festive snaps where both horses were posing beautifully for the camera.

This time around I was a lot less prepared. With no antlers or tinsel to hand, I found some deer ears from a fancy dress party earlier in the year and thought they would do just fine. Boy, was I wrong! I ended up looking like I had a herd of four-eared horses, ones who were far more interested in having a ball with their new toy than they were in posing. I had Tudor pulling Flower's ears off every two seconds, Flower making it clear that she would really rather be eating the grass, and Mary and Six looking on in bewilderment, wondering why their human insists on doing such ridiculous things to them. With the light fading from the word go, this was about the best snap we got!

Merry Christmas all, from me and four exceptionally fluffy ponies (they would have included a family picture, but all of the hair makes them look like they've eaten one mince pie too many, so they thought it was best not to)!

lol-I had similar issues taking photos of the dogs earlier. Here's to 4 eared ponies and 2018!

She looks like an elf-pony from Lord of the Rings! Very cute! The falsies aren't a patch on the real fluffies though...
Happy Christmas to you and all of your fur balls

A couple of years ago, I saw some photos of a horse that the rider had put their gloves over the ears, and it made it look as if the horse had antlers.
I thought it looked really cute, and decided to recreate this with my boy, maybe even make a calendar or xmas card with the picture....
My boy, was extremely annoyed that I had put my gloves on his ears, and the best photo I got was him looking extremely grumpy, with his ears pinned back. We havent tried a xmas shoot since !
