This Morgan horse was strutting its stuff for the camera. They are a beautiful horse and powerfully built. It is more casually known as Throckmorton and was raised by Fibber McGee and Molly.

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?

The muscle tones on this good looking horse are really something ..

Excellent choice in turning it to mono too ..

While I'm too young to have followed Fibber McGee and Molly, I have heard historical broadcasts of their old time radio show. Times were much simpler back then. I like your B/W presentation, Tick. Lots of detail.

Smile, without a reason why. Love, as if you were a child, Smile, no matter what they tell you Don't listen to a word they say Cause life is beautiful that way. (From the film "Life Is Beautiful")

A nice b/w shot of the horse in action Tick. Can you still speak to horses and tell them jokes to hear the horse-laugh?

Great B&W Tick - terrific definition in the black in particular.

Willard Waterman would be proud of this! I know I am. I always wanted a horse when I was a kid and this one, or one like it would have made me very happy. I didn't even get a pony!

I was always afraid of horses, but I'll say this one is a beauty. Great capture.

Owd Fella Tick (OFT), Fibber McGee and Molly (perhaps a TV- or radio show) doesn't say anything to an European like me. Thought therefore that this Morgan horse was named by the name of your family.
Anyhow a beautiful, proud, and powerful horse (enhanced by the choice of B&W), depicted very well.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Great looking capture love the light that highlights the muscle of the horse and as above the feeling of movement in this photography. And nice to see the horse enjoying it's self.Well done to a lovely photo and for the history too.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
