Horse Photo Competition 1 2019 : Entry Number 19

Judges Comment

This is such a fun image, made almost comical by the fact that these are ponies rather than magnificent stallions. The sweep of the left ponie's mane adds to the action. Lovely capture! ~ illona

Photographers Comment

Thank you so much for this Mark of Excellence. My name is Ulli (Ulrike) Hänelt and I am hobby fotographer from Bavaria in Gemany. My favorites "models" are horses and dogs. A friend of mine breeds miniature shetland ponies (under 87 cm). She owns about 10 stallions and each of them spends his summer among his mares. Just before winter, all stallions were put together and the first two hours of this community are very spectacular to watch. Although these are only very little horses, they fight of course like big ones. I was invited to watch this event and took this picture with my Canon Eos 80d camera and my canon ef 70-200mm lens. The picture was processed with lightroom and photoshop.
