This is Cody, the horse my wife is riding. I took this picture last time I visited her lessons, and find it has quite a melancholy look to it. I also developed a coulour version (which I also like very much), but I think in b&w it has much more expression.

In fact, Cody isn’t a melancholy horse at all (a bit lazy and obstinate at most), and he also has a lot of freedom where he lives
