Misty Update

Misty Update: The vet came and checked Misty yesterday... and I am relieved to report that she is not pregnant. He says either she is having a false pregnancy or that she recently had a foal (which makes me sad, because where is it?)... It's also possible that she miscarried... I'm looking at the bright side though... Misty has a lot of healing to do, and now we can focus on that. Thanks to everyone for the supportive comments- I really appreciate them. My first instinct was to Photoshop the wounds on Misty's face here, but I'm proud that I didn't. While I adore this moody image of her and her big sweet round eyes, it was more important to me to capture the reality of her neglect and vulnerability than it was for me to make the photo look prettier. It is amazing to me that, just like Willow, she can accept love and trust despite abuse and neglect... I love her.

  3. I love her eyelashes!! She a beauty! Didn't even notice her wounds when I first looked at this photo... all i saw was her eyelashes. Maybe I immediately look to horses eyes. Powerful.

  4. I have spent the past two nights reading your blog from beginning to end (including the post above this). Today I was my daughter's first horse riding lesson and next week is mine. Shana, I "know" you from the photography world (love your actions) and have always been inspired by the beauty of your work.......but this weekend I was inspired by the beauty of your soul. Thank you for being so open, honest, raw with emotion and wanderings in this blog. I have been changed. <3

    How is Miss Misty doing?
