Really cool photo from Juha Arvid Helminen, a Finnish photographer. The rest of his images are extremely dark and I’m not just talking lighting. There is a sinister feeling throughout the collection, but I just fell in love with this one. This guy’s coat is so glossy black and he would be the perfect horse to ride if you wanted to surprise someone on a dark and stormy night.

I’ve never been a fan of roller coasters, but those carousel horses call to me every time. To this day, I still get the urge to go for a ride on a pretty painted pony.
I don’t know whether I should blame Mary Poppins, my love of horses or going to the Woodbine Fantasy Fair as a child, but I love those carousels.

…I can do better. I can do anything better than you. Cool photo taken during the 2008 Tour de France. To check out the rest of the Tour de France images, click here. (I’ll warn you, this is the only horsey one)

I’ve always had a fascination with armoured horses. Or war horses in general. A horse had to be to pretty brave to charge into battle, wearing over 60 pounds of armour.

Stunning photography by Kalle Gustafsson. To see more of his work, check out advertising, and then the series called “atg”. Simply incredible.

Must be fearless, kind and preferably under the spell of an evil-doer. Preference will be given to those who can swath me in multi-coloured ribbons or armour. I have no fear of dragons, trolls or wolves, although I am a little squeamish about giant spiders. All applicants must display courage, grace and the ability to mount without whacking me with their sword.
Only those qualified will be contacted.

This whole photoshoot is gorgeous. Plus it’s rare to see a fashion shoot for men that uses horses. I get a real Prince Philip vibe from the whole thing.

Jane from Sea of Shoes works the equestrian look. I love when people use horses in fashion in a fun and fresh way. Check out the rest of the images here.
