This was taken at the George Strait Roping Classic this weekend in San Antonio, TX. I had been taking photos of the roping events all day and had decided to venture outside. This guy came walking around the corner without touching his horse, or the reins. They were just walking side by side. Their bond was amazing. When he saw me, he grabbed the reins but I couldn't resist snapping a picture. I'm not really sure if it fits this category, but I really like it, so I entered it anyway.

My biggest problem here is that you generally don't see cowboys and horses in front of golf carts. I get by the attire that this is a rodeo rider, but the "environment" is wrong. Would love to see this in the ring or the barn.
nice shot, i like how both heads are down, i think it adds a connection between the man and his horse, too bad that golf cart is in the background!! good shot though!
Looks a bit overexposed. I'd like to see more of the subject's face. Also, it's not clear what the environment is - he's walking with a horse (farm? riding classes?) but there are golf carts in the background (golf course?)...
