Hampton was chosen as a lucky model for a local equine photography clinic recently and he did not disappoint.

He may not the world's most fancy dressage horse, but he can pose with the best of them! He needs a modeling contract. He will stand all day and look like he owns the place.

We did a lot of black background shots, and then I climbed on bareback and did some romping around the fields and through a water complex. This old lady is not used to riding bareback so I was definitely hurting the next day lol! But this is exactly why I continue to pay Hampton's bills. He can be an I-1 horse one day, and then turn around and canter pack me around like a school horse the next.
