The South Jersey farm where miniature horses are raised has been on sale for a few years, so I was not too hopeful when I drove there to photograph them a few days ago. But they are still there, at least some of them, grazing peacefully on two lush fields covered with yellow flowers. As usual, the male and female horses were kept apart, separated by a wire fence.
A white mare saw me and approached, looking for a treat that I did not have! She looked very pregnant.
She came close to the fence, batting her eyelashes …
I did not see any baby horse, perhaps because it is too early in the season? Meanwhile the male horses were grazing peacefully in an adjacent field.

They look divine amongst those yellow flowers … sure does look like they are still sporting their winter coats …

Great little chaps and still wearing their winter coats, I think. I wonder what will happen to them when the farm is sold?

Good question, Emma. There was no one in sight for me to ask on that day. Perhaps another day.

Those horses may sometime be used as therapy animals, so they are friendly to people.

As you can probably tell, I was pretty close to the mare. For the other horses, I was much further away, perhaps 30 to 70 yards. I was using a 100-400 mm telephoto lens.
