take better horse photos

If you are like me there is a ton of photos on your phone, however none of them make you and your horse look like anything great. Here are some tips on how you can change that.

1. Angle
​Take photos for the side if you can. If your horse has a weak front, go more from the back. If your horse has weaker hindquarters, try from the front. Play around and see just how to get your horse's conformation looking good.

2. Ears Forward
Gosh, this cannot be said enough. Get your horse's attention and wait until the ears are forward. If not, he may look anger or like a donkey.



3. Timing
Speaking of waiting for the perfect shot of the ears, waiting for the perfect shot of the horse in motion also speaks volumes.

4. Be mindful of the surroundings
We've all seen those funny photos with someone doing something in the background. Try to look around and see what it is like for a newcomer to see the photo. Sometimes it is just a moment to move away from the fresh pile of horse apples.

5. Lighting
Sometimes it is hard to see darker horses indoors. Play around with your camera settings to see what photo has the best lighting effect. In the end, you can resort to a good photo editor!
