He's been wild and free and basically doin' his own thing for the last 5 years, but today he got the final exam in his education... and passed with flying colours.

This is my horse, Lane Frost, being ridden for the very first time. On board is Australian horseman, Lachlan Willoughby who heads to the USA in 10 days on a green card.

Hope you all like it. :wave

    The slightly heavier contrast in this photo actually works quite well. This one could easily hang on a wall.

    Nice looking "pony" Helen. He's lookin a little unsure of that big thing on his back :uhoh

    I'm sure the two of you will be out on the trail in no time.

    Thanks Jamie, you're right, the added bit of contrast really works well and has printed up nicely. :D

    Yep Steve, he's not a bad "pony" at all, although he's looking a bit like a greyhound right now. Some long rides along the road and some arena work should see him muscle up and look a bit more like the Quarter Horse that he is. :):

    Nice one! His face still doesn't show that he's at ease.

    Thanks for sharing.
