Horse & Rider Session // Tara & Zantina

I finally am getting around to sharing one of my most favourite sessions from this whole year! If every session could be like this, my job truly wouldn’t feel like work at all.

Equestrians in our area are probably familiar with the incredible woman in the images below. Tara is a fixture in our equestrian community and an incredible rider, coach and friend to many. She is a beacon of positivity and kindness and an inspiration and friend to all her students. She has been in the equestrian industry her whole life and navigated the many challenges that come with it, but truly come out the other side with the goal of making the community a more positive, uplifting and welcoming place. You truly cannot be around her and not be smiling! And seeing her with her beautiful Zantina, it becomes very clear that at the end of the day it is just about the horses and that she has found a true partner in the beautiful black mare. I feel so privileged to get to call Tara a friend and to have captured her beautiful bond with Zantina!
