Lennie leering at the ladies

I breathe a huge sigh of relief as I wrap up from yesterday’s unexpected shoot. The Belgian who I thought was Belgian, that I had photographed last August, turned out to be Dutch and so I was sent into a frenzy and a mad-dash-panic in search of another subject.  We came up trumps and less than 48 hours later I was rolling around in the shrubs with Extreme of Cavallini, aka Lennie – a beautiful, energetic, sheeny, shiny show jumper.

I thank my lucky stars that the publishers are so wonderfully patient, that Tamsin is so wonderfully knowledgeable and able to dig out such beauties at the eleventh hour, and also that the sun shone for me whilst I raced through the blooming British countryside to Surrey where Lennie lives in the lap of luxury.  It felt good to be back out there with camera and horse…dare I say it, but I think I’m ready for more!
