I love how horses sometimes try to come across as non-chalant (as the eyes indicate here). This really is adorable.

Cute shot but, fwiw - based on over 30 years experience as a professional horsewoman - Alana could well lose a few teeth if Ollie decided to toss his head. For that reason alone I never ever condone kissing an animal whose blind spot is directly in front of it.

No place softer than a horse's nose

What a handsome horse. He looks like he's being watchful of her while also enjoying the kiss. Sky is a bit blown out but it's a nice image and well-focused.

Nice photo. I wonder if it would've been enhanced with a lower f-stop to blur the background more, as it is unremarkable. I might have asked the girl for bit of a 'gentler' nose kiss here, so here face wouldn't appear smushed.

Good one. Great job of showing eyes and ears of the horse.... the best indications of horse demeanor.
