American Rodeo is already, well, how shall I put it, "interesting to watch", but the Argentinians take it a step further.

They may not use a belt to make the horses buck, but check the spurs: hello!

At the very moment that two of his sons were appointed to the third viewing at the KWPN stallion show in 's Hertogenbosch, Netherlands, news broke that the stallion Eurocommerce Singapore passed away after his castration.

While trying to stand up after the operation he so severely injured himself that the vet had to decide to put him down.

Need inspiration?

Mon, 30 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0100

Monday morning, not completely recovered from the weekend, a little head ache and in need of inspiration?

Have a look at our Photo ideas page with various photo galleries on many different subjects.
Looking for a cover? Then we have suggestions for you too: free moving horses, horse portraits. Or a spread? Those images are also at hand.

Each season has its favorite subjects: maybe snow, autumn colors or spring and foals, like now.

The right subjects are always at the top of the list, ready in time for the next season.
The galleries are updated frequently, as new images become available all the time.

So check back for new ideas regularly!
