Emilie is a Very Beautiful Lady

Louise Jæger and Karoline Ragnar did another photoshoot of Emilie today. And, like two years ago, they neglected to tell me first — so this was quite the pleasant surprise!

I’m amazed at how beautiful that horse is.

Photograph Madness!

Every horse person knows that person who takes great pictures. In this case, Louise Jäger took her fancy camera out for a spin, and these are the best picks of the crop!
