Abby

Is it a Dalmatian? A Harlequin Great Dane? Landseer Newfoundland? No… it’s Abby the Holstein! I met her ‘Mommy’ Amanda at a party and the next thing you know I’m in a stall with the beast! Her mum Amanda is a Veterinary student who  adopted ‘her little baby girl’ Abby. When Amanda showed up Abby made a beeline for her like a dog. I have never seen anything quite like it. (It was a little scary actually). Abby got a good grooming and loved it. She rubbed Amanda like a cat…. a really big cat! It was so hilarious. And like a dog, Abby had her tickle spots which we captured in one of the shots below. Very funny!

Cows are such beautiful creatures. Can they love and be loved? I believe so.

Calling All Minis

It’s been quite the winter. Our first here on our little hobby farm with our dogs and horses. I learned a lot about owning back-yard horses this winter. My only experience was with stabled horses, but having them in your backyard, with you and you alone to care for them, is not the same game, baby! I couldn’t have got through it without my wonderful husband and some very generous horsey friends who shared their time and knowledge with me. Thank you to everyone!

My biggest surprise however, was falling head over hoof for a little miniature horse who came to live with us this winter; May. We have known May for many years and having her here has been a dream. She and my horse Katie lived together for years and are back together again. Another ‘happily ever after’ here on the farm. I am now in absolute love with minis and lucky for me, Prince Edward Island is full of them. So this spring and summer I am embarking on a very special project and looking for miniature horses to photograph. I want to share information about minis and show people how wonderful they are. Sessions are free for this project. I will be booking sessions throughout spring and summer. If you know of anyone who may be interested in participating, please let them know. Contact studio@heatherogg.com to book your session!
