Shadow Shot Sunday 2 is back as Patti and I visited Locket’s Meadow Farm, a horse farm in bucolic Bethany CT. We attended a ceremonial signing of a law by the Connecticut Governor, an “Act Concerning The Liability of Owners and Keepers of Domesticated Horses, Ponies, Donkeys, and Mules”, a response to state Court rulings that horses have “a vicious propensity."
All that said, I like horses, gentle giants that photograph well at wheelchair height - and on a sunny day, can make for shadows. Horse people are very nice as are the horses - and here, will happily eat grass from a hand of a little girl - very cute! And I learned something - the meshy hoods they wear protect the equines from the scourge of pesky horseflies. Thus they may graze as we admire their gentle nature…
Check out Patti’s New Haven Register story and a great photo gallery of the event.
