A lovely series shocko990, the first and the last really work for me and show the relationship between horses and people, so much power and yet so gentle, excellent pictures

Great set of photos. Reminds me of a race horse my husband once had many years ago that was 17 hands high. That's a tall horse. He is a beauty and his head looks about as big as your entire sons body almost. Your son is so cute! Thanks for the memories!

What a great set of shots you have here, I especially love the first one, your son is adorable, and it looks
like he is quite fascinated, a horse could be in your future........ thanks for sharing these wonderful shots.

That's kind of the large and small of it! Excellent perspective showing the relative size of the horse and your son. The second looks a lot like MR Ed speaking to the camera...

couldn't really say it much better than Beach here. The interaction of a large animal with a yourng child is a tremendous thing to see....both image 1 and 3 capture this so well
