Western-style photo shoot!

I had a photo shoot with Maia today! It was such fun, Western in the woods, kitty in the hayloft (Maia wasn't in that one ;) I haven't taught her to climb ladders yet), then bridleless/bareback in a skirt. Maia was a saint for not having been ridden consistently (read: more than once a month) since last summer. And the shoot needed to be traditional Western (for the ad agency the photographer is looking to get into), so Maia had only two rides to figure out a curb bit (thankfully I've ridden her a few times in a double bridle). She is such a good mare!

Here's a sneak peak picture -- more coming tomorrow! The photographer was Maurice Northrup and his website is http://www.imagesbymaurice.com/. Go check him out! And he's on Facebook too!
