The event I am looking at now has a paddlock next to it?

Due to increased proof theft we are no longer leaving our events up indefinately!!! All new events published will have a time limit to view and order. Old ones are being subjected to the new rules.

We regret having to take this step but find it necessary in order to preserve or livelyhood!!

ATTENTION POLICY CHANGE TO ONLINE PHOTOS!!!

ONLINE EVENTS ARE NO LONGER POSTED INDEFINATELY!!! EVENTS NOW HAVE AN EXPERIATION DATE TO ORDER PHOTOS!!

MAKE SURE TO ORDER BY THE LAST DAY REMINDER ON THE ORDERING WEBSITE, AFTER THAT DAY PASSES PHOTOS ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE.

Proof theft still continues, and if you have been caught and warned..

Removing me as a friend from facebook does not mean I will not find out about what you are doing. It does however show me that you are well aware of the fact that you were stealing our proofs, and that you are still trying to circumvent the additional security measures that we have put into place. If you have been warned and still are doing it. Understand 1) your photos will no longer be available for viewing in the trailer 2) they obviously won't be available online 3) we will no longer shoot you period and 4) we will be sending you a bill for the photos that you STOLE! If this bill is not dealt with in a timely fashion the next communication from us will come from our copyright attorney.

What is an ear fix?

This is a question that we field all the time so I decided to take a moment here to clear it up. Sometimes when a horse goes over a fence his ears are discombobulated (all over the place, one left one right, pinned back, anything but pricked forward) With an ear fix we can change that. We rotate the ears forward to a more appealing position. While one the subject of ear fixes.. We also

1. Do eye fixes (on horses) this is when its a great shot but his eye is closed. We can open his eye. This is the same cost as an ear fix. If you see a photo that you like but it needs an eye fix. You an select the photo with the ear fix option and in the comment section tell us you need an eye fix not an ear fix. If you need and eye fix and and ear fix .. choose ear fix and then be aware that we will be calling you for additional charge of 10.00 for the eye fix.
2. DO NOT fix knees, feet, legs, or add poles. At some point a horse has his eyes open and ears forward. THIS IS THE ONLY CONFORMATION THAT WE ALTER.
