Horses are among the most beautiful animals. I walked in the village the other day (or actually a couple of weeks ago), and I looked at grass growing and fields turning green. And I admired a couple of horses on a pasture. Suddenly I realized that part of the fence was destroyed. So did the horses, and suddenly they were loose. Running through the landscap at full speed. I run to the nearest farm. The wrong one. But a girl there run to the right one, and the owner went after the two horses. I hope she succeeded and all went well. Even with the field. Here is a link to more photos of horses.

They are happy running free like that….like a dog that escapes the house. 🙂

I could recognize the newly escaped behaviour of a dog. Freedom, joy, surprise and maybe some recklessness.

I hope they enjoyed their run, but hope they were safely returned to their home pasture. Beautiful photos.

I could see they enjoyed it, and as you I hope they had a safe return. I couldn’t stay to find out, but I guess so. Thanks, Emilie.

That is a nice remark, Yoshizen. Thank you. I forgot to mention these are taken with my quite new Olympus OM-D E-M10, that is a small and mirrorless camera. It is not bad, but not used to it yet. Very handy size.

In that case, Olympus may appreciate for their

(In fact I’m also considering those mirrorless camera,
or even a compact camera from Panasonic.)

My plan: so small it will always be there. I hope it works. They say mirrorless is very good, but of course not the same control as with a DSLR.

Our horse has escaped a few times. I think he loves to gallop around an unfamiliar place. But once the novelty wears off (which doesn’t take long) he wants the comfort and security of his pasture.
Beautiful photos.
