The Quiet Around Him

I am participating in a 12 month equine photography challenge where we have to take an image each month that fits a theme. January’s theme is Negative Space. During my session last Saturday, I had the opportunity to create this image. Incorporating more landscape to surround the horse creates more intention and emotion.

We wanted to capture this beautiful Morgan gelding galloping around in the snow. Did he want to participate - well no lol. He preferred to eat the grass buried under the snow and stand around looking majestic. So, I continue photographing. It may not have been all we planned for, but this image is one of my favorites from the session!

After doing this for this client, it makes me strive to produce more images like this for future clients. To try something more artful and poetic. Because, I would hang this in my home! Wouldn’t you?

This is an original 1956 photo of a drawing by artist Eric Miller who visited Swaps’ stall at Garden State Park to sketch the special sling sent by Sunny Jim Fitzsimmons to trainer Mesh Tenney holding the 1955 Kentucky Derby winner’s left hind leg off the ground.

In October, while training for the Washington, D.C. International at Garden State Park, Swaps fractured his leg in two places: in his left rear cannon bone, then a week later banged his leg in his stall, breaking his cast, and extending the fractures into his pastern joint.

Sunny Jim Fitzsimmons, the trainer of Nashua, sent him a special sling from Belmont Park. He initially had to be raised and lowered every 45 minutes and trainer Mesh Tenney stayed with the horse and performed the function for the first 36 hours.

In November 1956, despite losing 300 pounds during the ordeal, Swaps beat the odds and jogged away from his ordeal and was saved for stud duty.
