Beautiful shot! Whatever happened to the horse Hoss rode?! Early retirement, perhaps.

Excellent capture of these two beautiful horses. Very nice.

Hello Ron...This is a lovely picture of the horses at liberty...The way they are looking they have certainly engaged with you and your camera...Spot on Ron....Well done....All the very best to you Ron......Mick.

Looks like feeding time at the 'Ponderosa' pal...

either that or yer teasing them with a tidbit!

Good shot, and the detail is a cracker...I would maybe lose a bit of the open space to pull em closer!...

but this composition does you credit, cos of the surroundings!..

Lovely shot and nice title. I like the comment, too.

Little Joe,Fron the Ponderosa..These two have a lot of room to run in...Good horsey pic,As usual,Keep them that side of the fence .. R.

My favourite has always been the father, Ben Cartwright.
Very handsome ....
My late uncle whom I loved dearly used to say after the end of each part: "Not bad, but not enough of fist fighting!" LOL

Great capture of the two together on the move Tick. Nice clarity and a good DOF here too.

I loved watching Bonanza. A very poignant title and thought. Things were just less complicated back then, although no era was ever ideal. But I hate to think that the current era will be idealized by our children and children's children.

Tick, I really am enjoying this one, I like the expanse around them, and the freedom they seem to have to run and enjoy themselves. Tigs♥ =^..^=

I was in the middle of adolescent angst when I saw the first Bonanza episode, and I promptly fell in love with Little Joe... They're all gone now, such is life... but they left their beautiful horses behind, like these two, and horses are always beautiful to look at. Love the rolling hills surrounding them too... Good 'un, Mr. Tick.

Little Joe is in heaven with Hop Sing, Hoss, Ben and Adam.

I have mixed feelings about your shot, TicK. Galloping horses aren't very common on my photo adventures; so I might have been tempted to crop out much of the landscape around the horses. On the other hand, the surrounding vacant lands really add a nice touch in showing the freedom that there horses enjoy. It is a beautiful background; so I think you made the right choice. How do you get them to run right at you? Do you dress up like a carrot or a cube of sugar?

It seems they are coming to you. Have you some food on your hand?.

Hoss is gone too, isn't he? I really like the texture you get from that lens or maybe it is your postprocessing. Great looking horses.

Little Joe walked off into the sunset, until he came upon some little house on some prairie somewhere! Then he hit the road again, on some highway to Heaven. Then he took the literal road to heaven....I hope! If he stopped off somewhere in between, I can't remember! Great looking shot, Tick!

The horses are just glowing. The colors are spectacular.

Were you jiggling a carrot to make them come running to you?...lol...They sure wanted something! A wonderful and perfect capture Tick! Love it!

Fine photo , very nicely done.

I love to hear them run, good job.

You'd better watch out they are charging, lol. Fantastic shot and of course I love those horses, right into my favs

Little Joe was allways my fave on Bananza. This excellant work Tick. Great colors and the feeling of freedom oozes out of it.

Too bad the other end of the horse is being idolized in the media today. A good capture of the horses, Tick. A good looking scene in the background.

Now I have the Bonanza tune running through my head!
Lovely horses and you caught them so well in action Tick.

I still watch Bonanza and had also visited the Ponderosa Ranch several years ago. It is no longer there. The Horse shot is magnificent, as usual, Tick!

Are you referring to Little Joe Cartright? He rode a black and white horse. But, I like the theme of your image. Values have rode off into the sunset, that's for sure.

Tick - "Apples. Apples. Run and smile for the camera and he'll give us some apples." A really fine Hoss photo. Thad

Little Joe is still on late night reruns...where all the other good stuff went. :) Nice pic, lotsa pixels, enjoy horses in the field with their heads up.
