About a week ago, the horses and I had an incredible experience. We met up with some photographers/cinematographers at the beach and ended up getting so many beautiful shots! We've never been around so many people taking our picture all at once. The horses LOVED all the attention. I was usually doing things with one horse while the other stood with the girl who helps me take care of them. She didn't even have to hold on; the horse that was off-camera was always happy to stand for other photographers to take their pictures! So they were both constantly in front of someone's lens 🙂
We were able to get digital photos, old-school film photos, video, and drone footage. The weather may not have been ideal but the sunset was phenomenal. Tourists joined the photographers frequently to take photos, which was super awkward at times when I was in a bikini! But it was lots of fun overall and when we were done the horses enjoyed getting lots of pets from everyone. People posed to take photos with the horses and I let some sit on the horses for photos too!
My favorite video of the day was done by Instagram user @lanybiird:
And this is the video taken by the drone:
Hi, my name is Mikayla. I was wondering if you’d be willing to share with me how you taught your horse to rear like that? I’ve been thinking about teaching mine but I’m unsure of where to start.
