Happy New Year 2015
The past year was a wonderful one for Equus ferus- Wild Horse Photography. We were given the prestigious honor of participating in the Cloud Foundation Art and Music Festival in Colorado Springs over the summer and, to our delight, we sold prints. We had a successful Mustang Walkabout (our summer trip out west to photograph the mustangs) and continue to sell photographs, calendars and prints. We opened an e-store at Red Bubble and are slowly adding to the items fans may purchase. If you see a photo you’d like as an iPhone cover or mouse pad- or even correctly proportioned for an iPhone or Android (those are free), please don’t hesitate to ask; we can make it happen. Remember all net proceeds from our sales go back to the mustangs!!!

Perhaps the most important event in
2014 was attaining a quarter of a million fans and later passing the 300,000
fan mark. Without our fans, we are just another ordinary Facebook horse-related page. So by way of thanks, we will continue to randomly give away items
such as our 2015 Calendar "The Stallion Edition", and next year,
we'll have The Foal Edition" so stay tuned.

We are planning our summer 2015
Mustang Walkabout and we will visit the Sand Wash Basin, the McCullough Peaks, the Pryor Mountains, Little Book Cliffs and anything
interesting along the way. However, before the summer, I will visit the Salt River in
Arizona while attending a Mayo Clinic medical conference. I am probably the
only person who finds medical conferences based solely on their
proximity to wild mustangs. In the fall I will be in Salt Lake City for another conference and
therefore will be obligated to visit the Onaqui HMA.
This summer also saw an end to my
right anterior cruciate ligament, my
medial collateral ligament and both meniscus were torn in my right
knee. Since I performed this amazing orthopaedic trick two decades earlier, the
ligament used to repair my torn ligament had to be borrowed from
a cadaver. I will be spared during the Zombie Apocalypse since I already
have a zombie part in my knee, or so my daughter Abigail cheerfully informed
me. I had to take an unintended break from riding, Okinawan Kobudo, and even my
34 string Celtic Floor Harp- but I am back at the harp, will start up Kobudo in
February and riding will wait until the spring. I was however, able to remain in school this semester, continued editing/posting photos during my convalescence
and did not have to take much time off from my job.
I am hoping in 2015 to continue
editing the photos collected throughout the year and to have an amazing time
with the mustangs so we can bring them to you. I am always available to anyone who
is interested in going out to see them; it is easier than you think- just email
me. If you happen to be in the neighborhood of the horse management areas in
the summer… I’ll guide you out there myself.
We will also be starting a series on 'Equine Coat Colour' where we'll explore the genetics behind the marvellously coloured mustangs...
