Please wish me luck! I had my wedding at the start of August and the weather was too horrendous to take any pics with my beloved pets.
So tomorrow I have pics with my dogs and me on my horse in my wedding dress!!! Hmmm we will see how we get on&if we can the image the photographer would like!!!
Eeeeerkkkk
 
Thank you all, I just hope he is as quiet tomorrow in a strange field etc as he usually is. My photographer would like hair flowing and bare foot.......good luck with either is what I say, he obviously has only worked with people and not animals!!
 
I hope it goes well for you OP, I got married just over 2 yrs ago and didn't get pics with my two, I'm still really tempted to get them done even now.
 
Have fun!

We were meant to do this with the photographer the day after the wedding (hubby has a horse too so he would have been there in a suit too with his horse) but there was a monsoon so we ended up not bothering, then we went on honeymoon and it never got rebooked.
 
Well I am over the moon as I write this. The day was busy with me preparing and scrubbing horses and dogs (not to mention myself....to which everyone else looked cleaner)!!
I had my mum, dad& husband briefed to what to do etc what potentially could go wrong and what to do if he done anything (prob more for my piece of mind that I had covered all eventualities to ward anything off!). Unfortunately it poured all morning and I prayed it would clear up, it dried and give us a two hour window. We arrived at the farmers field I had kindly begged to&he saw the field and rubbed his hooves together, needless to say he had to get a major blow out and suddenly had limited breaking. Now this just shows what a gentleman he is as he changed as soon as I dawned the dress, I don't think he has been as gentle, soft and responsive when I really needed him to be.
I can't express what a joy this horse is and handsome to boot (but then I am biased). I wanted my dog on the shots as she is 10, has took me to crufts on numerous occasions and the apple of my eye too.
We got the pics underway after I sponged him off after being sweaty, changing in the horsebox was hilarious and never thought my dress would be treated like a pair of jods!!!
We started with the ground shots and had to be quick, he wanted to keep moving. We done some walking shots which were rather difficult as my dress was so big he walked on it a couple of times and I stopped rather abruptly. For never seeing or hearing the dress he was unflappable. I got a leg up and as there was so much dress I couldn't sit until it was pulled from under me. Now what he star as he stood while people hauled, pulled and flapped around and eventually got on the saddle, my heart was in my mouth as I NEVER ride without a hat&i wouldn't have done this if we didn't have the bond we do as probably the biggest test he will encounter.
My veil was huge, it touched the ground from the head with me on him, so with that, my dress and some wind he took his role and showed what he was made of and that he is everything I knew he was.
He was so easy!!! He has been out for 6mths through my illness and wedding planning that this was the fourth time being back into work. I know when u get a good ex racer you wouldn't go back.
The pictures mean the world to me as I know I am on borrowed time. I lost two horses this year&to have these pictures for a special time in my life&share it with them,I cannot express how they will be cherished.
I haven't got the pro pics yet, just ones my husband had taken, so here is an insight, hope u think the same as me:
Oh no, how do u get pics from photo bucket :-/ sorry

You open the photobucket and copy the "direct" link (I think, but it may be another, but the rest is right). You just press on the direct button and it automatically comes up "copied".

You go to HHO and open a reply, then "go advanced" as there are then some buttons above the text box, and a small "picture" icon is there, press this and a new window opens, and you put the curser in this window, and press !Ctrl" and "V" simoultaneously, and the link will be pasted in. Then press the "Post Quick Reply" button under the text box.
 
If you're using Google Chrome then go to the picture in your photobucket (so it's full size), right click on it and select 'Copy Image URL'. Come to the box on H&H to write your post and write '
', without the '' around it :).

It sounds like an amazing day and your horse sounds brilliant! :).
