sagetopaz's photostream  

My photo site is devoted to the animals, mostly my horses, in my life. I like to spend time with them, watching what they do and capturing what I can with my camera. I have a special fondness for Thoroughbreds and own a retired racehorse(Sage).

I have a collage of horse breed that live with me. I own 5 horses of my own: 2 Thouroughbreds (Sage & Beau), 1 NSH (Azure),1BLM Mustang (Jaspar), 1 Paint (Robin) The 2 others that belong to my friends are Sapphire & Chansyk. They both reside with us to fill out our herd.

My buddy icon is of Topaz's eye. She was my first horse. I got her when she was 25 years old and we had 4 fabulous years together. She showed me how much fun horses can be. She passed away a couple of years ago at the age of 29. I am sure Topaz is still watching us.


We live on a 77 acres, mostly a grass seed, farm located in the Pacific Northwest.. The horses have 9 acres to call their own. They share the barn with 2 cats and a dog.

Through the time I have spent on Flickr and the great photographers I have had the pleasure of observing and getting to know, I have begun to study equine photography more. I am branching out a bit and doing a few farm calls and photographs for people at horse related events. I know I don't want to be an event photographer, but I do enjoy working for individuals. I like to capture the connection between people and their horses.

I have also had the opportunity to give back to the community by working at some dog agility events that were fund raisers for various causes. I liked that too. I'm not sure where my photography is headed, but spending time with my horses and camera is something I enjoy.

I am entertained to find out my expression number is 3:
