Once again, one of my animals insisted on a place in the spotlight. This time it was Splash, my spotted saddle horse. My subject, this handsome young guy, was instantly distracted and lost all interest in the photo session when Splash wandered up to the gate. After introductions and some shared oatmeal cookies, Splash proceeded to show his affection for his new-found friend. After several more minutes of bonding, I finally pursuaded my young friend to resume the session, but only after promising that he could come back and visit Splash anytime. And I'm not sure who will be the happiest when he does!
