Beach riding tops virtually every horse lover’s bucket list, right? I finally had the chance to cross that one off recently while visiting Amelia Island, Florida (and I think I’ll go ahead and add it back to the list. I must do it again!).
Interested in taking our lead (hehe)? Contact Debbie at Amelia Island Horseback Riding. Our awesome guide and impromptu photographer was Reva. The horses were well-taken care of and well-matched to our riding experience.
Happy trails!

Recently, for an Australian magazine that is printing one of my articles, I took some photos of my 4 year-old daughter riding.
She’s a natural, in my opinion ;).
Below you’ll find a few of my favorites!
You have to love this sweet, patient Morgan horse: he must be wondering if anyone is even on him!
Here is Alyssa Wick, trainer at Hardwood Creek, leading Elizabeth.
Last but not least…
Thank you for stopping by!

There is a lot of construction on my current route to the barn, so I took the scenic route yesterday. I was so inspired that I stopped about 5 times on the way home from my riding lesson to take some shots of what I found along the road.

I love color photographs. I really do!
Every once in a while, though, I love black and white photos even more. Sometimes a photo says more to me in black and white, as these did, below. I have no explanation for this.
These are a few recent photos of my husband, son, & daughter at the park. It was a record-breaking warm day in February, and as you can see from the clothing, we took advantage of it!

There’s no doubt about it, some days (okay, many days) I like to think of myself as a country girl at heart.
Perhaps the beauty I find in old rural structures speaks to that.
Thank you for visiting! You can find daily photos of the cute, quirky, & beautiful on my Instagram feed. I’d love to see you there.

It was “unseasonably warm” in Minnesota today, which is in quotes because it’s still hilarious to me that 35 degrees is considered warm here, but oh well. At least I wasn’t freezing!
Of course, it meant I couldn’t resist going to Sundown Horse Shelter and taking some pictures of all the sweeties there.
Have you liked my Facebook page? It’s up and running now, and I’d love it if you visited and shared it with any horse-loving friends!
Thank you for stopping by!

I’m sharing some recent photos I took of a few of my favorite horses over at Sundown Shelter in Hugo, Minnesota.

Hello!
If you’re visiting, you likely love horses or photography. Or both. Me too!
I’ve been riding as an adult for a little over a year, but I rode as a child as well. I also volunteer at a local horse shelter whenever I can, and a therapeutic riding center in the summer months. I recently dove into the world of equestrian photography and art, and now I can’t stop.
I’m passionate about the art and skill of riding in all disciplines, and as a freelancer, I write about all things equestrian for HorseChannel.com. You can read my articles, here.
This is a photo I took last summer of my two children, admiring a couple of miniature donkeys at Waldoch Farm in Minnesota.
As a new photographer, I offer affordable sessions to capture the beauty of your horse, farm, riders, or all of the above. My goal is to help you and others see the beauty of your beloved equine companion and your special bond.
I also offer personalized social media management services to help promote your farm or riding center and connect with more potential clients. You’re busy with customers, animals, outdoor work, and maintenance. Let me take care of promoting your business by helping with your website and social media accounts (Instagram, Facebook, e-Newsletters, and more). Rate available upon request.
You can view examples of my photos on my Facebook page.
You can find more of my written work and publications on my blog, FranticMama.com.
Thank you for your interest in Julia Arnold Equine Photography!
