Longman Miniatures 2008 Photo Shoot

[alongman]

Each year, we do a photo shoot for our client horses as their "holiday" present from our stable. This year, we expanded and did a lot of our own horses as well. Thanks to Ray and Darcia Kavorik of dk designs who spent 4 days with us getting "the shot" of our horses. Most of these pictures will be on our website soon - some of the kids have really grown up into fine animals and we're really proud of them. The client horse pictures will be unveiled at Nationals..... they haven't even seen them yet

Heres just a few ....... enjoy! I think I got them resized small enough to load quickly. Thanks for looking!

Adam - I've seen our pictures of Wings and Chaser and they are just wonderful.

We had trouble deciding which ones to purchase, because they were so many, many great shots. Thanks so much for promoting our horses.

Can't imagine getting that many horses cleaned, clipped, and posed in heat and high humidity, but you guys did it with panache! Darcia is due congratulations on a very successful shoot.

Beautiful pics Adam and how nice of you to do that for your clients

You have so many very nice horses, but little Bitta is just a doll! My kinda gal.

[alongman]

Thanks guys! I really hoped they would be a hit. All I can say is, you should see the ones of the client horses! They are really really good!!!! I'll post them later.

To clarify - Ethan (my little man) is my nephew. He's "phree and a half" and is super excited because he gets to show horses when he is four. He comes over as often as possible and helps with HIS horses - always in his boots and hat. Oh what a help. Jason is the new guy. He's quite the supporter of the horse business and isn't afraid to get in there and help out with what needs to get done.

You guys will have to check out my website soon for the updates - we've updated the mares, stallions and sales pages with some of the horses from the shoot. I'm more than happy to answer any questions anyone has about the kids........

[Ashley]

Now Adam, you cant post that last pic with out it being big enough to see!

 

[Reijel's Mom]

Your old gal Lady is gorgeous!!

 

[alongman]

This one is just for you Ashley - here it is in a bigger size.........

Thanks for the comments on the old girl Lady - she truly is the foundation of our breeding program. Several of her offspring are still in our herd - occassionally we have offered a daughter for sale, but it's a rare occassion. She will live out her life here, if she has another baby - great! If not, then she will be the grand old babysitter for her brood.
