Default Finally a live thoroughbred!

Before we get to the thoroughbred, I thought that this was a cute shot but I wish I had the focus where it needed to be.....a very average selection of shots...sorry!

Nice work Patrick. Don't let those racoon eyes fool you. They are voracious fighters.

It's not every day that you get a chance to bag a raccoon, so you gotta take the chance when you can. Nice series. Especially like the last one.

In my mind I opened this up expecting to see a horse. First thing I see is a raccoon, okay coon if you're from that part of the world. Really had a nice laugh and had to read your description. Great shots as always and thanks for the laugh.

Great Set Patrick! The Racoon is very cute! Good job in a difficult lighting situation. Love the Real Horses as well, as long as I don't have to clean up after them.
Thanks for Sharing these
Michael.
