I was fascinated by the sky and clouds and got the riders on horses for a bonus.

Out for an evening sunset ride under that gorgeous sky.

I enjoy horses but grew up being scared of the huge beasts and their big teeth. We lived next door to a horse stable. The horses would often come up to us kids, calling out to them from the fence. My sister held out an apple once, by her fingertips, and was told to hold it out on her flat hand, palm side up, otherwise she might get bitten as the horse grabbed at the sweet fruit. That put all kinds of horrible scenes into my far too impressionable young mind. I never gave an apple to a horse after that, and very carefully avoided their teeth!

Now, I know much better, and have a healthy awareness of both the beauty and huge mass of a horse. Approach with care and enjoy those that let you near to marvel at the muscle and grace of these gentle giants.

These folks were in for an evening treat, astride friendly steeds and under that wonderful sky.
