Image of the Week: Horse Bath, Morgan Horse Farm, Weybridge, Vermont

This week's image is from the University of Vermont's Morgan Horse Farm, a National Historic Site where the Morgan bloodline has been maintained for a century. I'm shooting a portfolio on the farm and will publish the entire set on this site once it is complete.

For now, here's an outtake from last week's shoot, a horse bath taken in the shade of the barn. The soft light and the shine of the horse's coat provided the perfect stage for the gentle curls of the wet mane. The vertical lines of the barn's corrugated metal siding further enhanced the graphic composition.
