Some of our friends own a horse, and are regular (daily) patrons of a nearby stable. We had our pick of horses... and although this stallion was the friskiest, and would be hardest to shoot - we chose him for his incredible mane (funny, after all of that... I didn't even use the mane in the photo)! I'll post an awesome outtake that I almost used instead of this one. Really hard to choose, but this one just said "sugar" a lot more.
Thanks to Brian, Jean, & Alex for the assistance (and access to the stable!
Hope it does okay :O)

haha, she already has sugar on her nose. This is my favorite of the horse and sugar pictures. The close up crop and shallow depth of field tell the story simply without distractions.
verry nice and good focus, i tell you. Cute picture, i can't really put my finger on it, but there is something in this picture that could be better... but as I said, i can't really place it somewhere... Overall, good pic..
