Eeer you can come do my lot I have a really mixed bunch...Sect A ponio...rather large 11 month old..and of course his mamma....Rochdale area let me know if your passing through!!
I would absolutely love you to come and photograph my two horses! I'm at a yard with 25 horses of all different shapes, sizes, breeds and colours - plenty of which have a lot of character.
I think with regards to people getting the wrong idea about your intentions, I can't imagine they have had much interaction with you on here You are one of the most genuine posters I have come across, anyone can see that for themselves if they look at your post history. In fairness people may just be weary and overly cautious (which isn't a bad thing), but if that's the case, they may as well just bypass your generous offer and forget about it - I know I won't lol! xx
I don't understand the 'steal my horse' thing... anyone could take a picture of any horse in any field at any time... At least they would be meeting me. Plus if you saw my car it wouldn't be hard to catch me, in fact it might need a push hehe! And the boot's a bit small to fit even a mini shetland in lol
I do get that people are wary of their horses though, and there is a lot of 'scare' about theft these days. So if in doubt, no problems, better safe than sorry i guess.
I will be over to get lots of your lads asap (will be nice to practice on a coloured, exposure is going to be a nightmare with black and white!), and in the meantime lots of lovely people have replied and i'm going to be pretty busy for a couple of weeks (or longer) i think. Should have plenty for a portfolio soon anyway, which is great!
So massive big thank you's to everyone who has got in touch, i will try to keep track of you all but if in doubt pester me over pm!
