  1. absolutely gorgeous! If I can’t raise arabians, I’d love to own a Gypsy Vanner, black & white! Miss my ability to get to a horse-barn!

  2. What no Gabrielle Boiselle? Her work is infamous, and so is her “eye” into the soul of the horse.

  3. A horse photographer list without the multi-award winning Barbara Livingston? What is the world coming to? Her horses don’t have long hair flying all over the place, but they are just as beautiful and she captures the perfect moments in everyday life like no other photographer.

  4. Very PROUD of Helen Peppe – she has supported TLAER (Technical Large Animal Emergency Rescue) courses with her gorgeous photography in the past – WOW!!!!!!!!! What a HUGE honor! CONGRATULATIONS to all the photographers – gorgeous photos.

  5. Thanks to my grandfather who loved horses and shared that with me
    I’m passionate about these beautiful animals the pics are breathtaking !
    I’m a big fan of Mustang Meg and she certainly deserves to be on this list!
