Due to their unique ability to provide companionship, adventure, and unwavering loyalty, horses have long been considered a girl's best friend. When Mandy asked if I'd capture some photos of her and her horse Riley, there was no way that I'd pass up the opportunity. From taking a leisurely walk through the fields to running the barrels, Mandy and Riley work as one. The hours that were devoted towards the raising and training of riley has resulted in a bond that was an honor to witness. below you will see a few shots from our sunset session. xox
