OH seems to think all my horsey pics aren't really cool enough to put up - but I'm thinking they are better than random arty pics!!

Sooo what about you guys?? Are your walls covered in horsey pics from past and present? Or do they all live in the cupboard??

I have three pictures of me and Ellie in my room, plus one of her grazing

Then downstairs, I have a great big frame with about 12 pictures in it, all from when we were jumping. In the dining room, one corner is devoted to all my pony trophies, and there are about ten photos there of my various different ponios. But there are still countless more photos hidden away in drawers!

I have a black and white canvas print in the living room, but its quite cool and I love it and one in bedroom of my last hunter trial with my old horse.
 
This is my wardrobe

I tend to fill our house with photos...
I am in the middle of decorating my room at the moment, and when thats done I will be putting photos everywhere (not just horsey though.)
 
They're all in my room, in a pile waiting to be sorted from random years. I try to not look at them ( I am not the most photogenic, so I keep them well hidden out of sight).

I always look like I am slightly constipated when someone takes a picture of me schooling! Haha. And biting my tongue, which I do when I am trying hard!

None of me.......anywhere. A couple of Evie on the dresser and a couple outside in the mudroom.

Hundreds in various piles waiting to be sorted or framed, it will never happen.
 
Loads! Above the curtain rail in the dining room there are 8 and on the walls another 7 - they are all the professional type ones from events - I am such a proud mummy! And a windowsill of snapshots - though I am in only a few of them - they are mainly DH. And a few on the chest of drawers in the bedroom...........and a frame with lots in by the stereo..........and a few on the dresser.............
 
Just the one of me showjumping my horse. I'm not really into plastering photos of my horse around the place - for me less is more and I'm not keen on looking at myself!

However I do have loads tucked away in the loft of horses past. Maybe one day I'll do a picture board of all the animals I have loved, but without me in them!
 
3 of me / my horses and 6 of OH and his horses.
We are going to convert the loft next year into a study and plan on having a feature wall - floor to ceiling of our hobby!!!!
 
I have a pic of me on my 18th birthday taken with a 1000 Guineas winning mare at the stud I worked on, taken by the stud manager. No others, because parents aren't horsey and never watched me at shows or lessons etc.
 
Ive got loads...my husband keeps trying to pursuade me to take them down- they go all up the stairs and the hall is just filled with photos of my horses going back to when I was about 20! The kitchen has a load too. I try and keep them out of the front room, but even that has horsey paintings...im a big fan of Daniel crane and have several of his..and they are huge!! my poor husband...
 
One of me at my mums wedding and then quite a few a various competions in frames in the lounge - I have a huge clip frame in my room with a collection of pictures (ok nearly 100) of pics I really like of different beasts from the the last 15years
 
Downstairs we have three of me SJ/XCing, one of the Sprog and her pony, one of our racehorse winning a race, plus two watercolour portraits of my horses. There are also a few more scattered around upstairs.
 
i have a massive (practically lifesize) canvas head shot of Ellie in my hallway. Several competition pics of Ellie & Dunlop in the lounge. A multi frame of my foal (he died earlier this year, gonna take pics down though soon as timr to move on) then in dining room have a pastel of Ellie & my old horse then in my room a canvas of my foal trotting accross field
 
my bathroom - one of shadow roaming around the field

bedroom - 2 of us at sponsored ride (cantering and jumping - BIG pitcures
smile.gif
), one grazing, one at sparsholt competing in dressage, and one of us posing on out 5th anniversary last July
smile.gif
my favourite by far!

kitchen/living room - one at the last sponsored ride we did - the one of her trotting in my signature, and one from about 11 years ago of her tied up at the riding school after being groomed within an inch of her life

i've got loads of pencil sketches that i want to fame and put in frames and put up in the hall etc, just dont have money/time to do it at the mo, will get there though!
 
Shedloads - photos and paintings of my horses and ponies going back years. My nephew once counted them up and said to my totally non horsey brother that there were 15 pictures of horses in my living room. Think it has gone up since then and will grow and grow until you cannot see the paintwork!
 
well i think my excuse is that i am here (oz) and my boy is there (uk) so i have pics of me and him in the lounge and kitchen, a4 pictures in frames in the bedroom AND......a calendar that was made of him (and me) in the toilet so i can look at him even at the most relaxing moments haha. i even have a handbag size album that goes everywhere with me. i suppose this could also go on the post "how mad, really really mad are you about horses?!!"
 
In my room I have a picture of me in all my previous ponies, and a few extras of me at big shows on my old section A. Downstairs we just have one of me driving Pip, one of dad driving him and one of Dad driving the 4 in-hand. My championship rosettes are in the kitchen, too though.
