Horse

We were scouting locations in the Camargue when we saw a large herd of horses grazing in a raised roadside field, It was mid-morning but the quality of light was divine, there was a storm approaching and bright sunlight illuminated the horses against a broody blue backdrop. The horses were oblivious to us, so to attract their attention I opened a packet of Hula Hoops to use as bait. The horses loved them and soon learned to look into the lens when I rattled the bag; all except for this one. A famous show-jumping acquaintance, who had spent his whole life with horses, told me he was absolutely certain that this horse is actually laughing. The ability to laugh at one's self is considered a strength but to be laughed at by a horse: well… that's another talent entirely.
