All abuse leaves traces..whether on animals or we humans..this touches beyond the subject.never loved..never treated as an entity...this is a very sad take...he'll never be as he should.
"I never looked for it, gave it no name; yet I knew it always, when the gift of peace came. I stood quite still for the moment that it lasted...Then the light shifted slightly and the moment passed, leaving me...with the lasting echo of its presence.." Diana Gabaldon
Sad story, beautiful picture. It is as if there is a grin on the horse's face. Maybe, after all, he is happy now.
I like the black and white and the wild weeds mingling with the protrait.
Aww poor thing, how on earth anyone could abuse him. Such awful people on the planet. I am glad that he is getting some love and attention now. A very touching capture, I like that you chose black and white. It adds to the sentiment of the picture.
