 An obliging Standardbred mare, Twin B Kayla, giving a woody a gentle nudge as he *carries* some hay out to pasture for them. Anyone who's ever had to take out hay to horses knows that those cute li'l horses and ponies turn into circling sharks the moment you close the gate behind you!

Woody was mounted on a doll-display stand which in turn sat atop 3 overturned buckets stacked atop one another so he and whichever horse was nearby would be in silhouette. Shot handheld.

Great shot, although abit more contrast with the background would be great. Maybe the blue more bluer.

having the horse in silhouette doesn't add much here other than to match the challenge.
