Truck dog

I've been doing very little on the dog side of things until recently---my preoccupation with horse photography has taken center stage. However, this shot combines both worlds, since it is a shot of a dog, taken at a horse show.

This is one of a pair of dogs owned by the family of one of the young riders at Ebon Stables where I keep my own horse. Last weekend was a lovely weekend and featured the first outdoor horse show of the season. I had been taking photos at the show rings most of the day, and was just heading back to the stables to check on my horse, when I went by the truck with the dogs in back. They were in a nice shady spot and feeling fairly laid back, although they were both also keeping a watchful eye out for the return of their family.

I can't say driving around in a pickup with your dogs loose in the back is something I endorse (too many ways to go wrong), but it's part of the rural way around here, and I did enjoy my moment of communion with these fellows.
