Not really headshots, but had to post: Hyperion and Ribot. Wasn’t Hyperion always a very kind stallion and Ribot a psycho, especially in his later years?

Don't know about Hyperion, but Ribot was definitely nutso. I believe he was only supposed to stand in Kentucky for a limited time, but it was considered too dangerous to try and ship him back. :?
I ran marathons. I saw the Taj Mahal by Moonlight. I drove Highway 1 in a convertible. I petted Zenyatta.

was it ribot who used to bite the ceiling beams in his stall and kinda hang from them, then when he passed they found he had a brain tumour? i think they speculated that behaviour alieviated pain/pressure?

Bronwen creates THE most beautiful portraits of horses, but IMHO Delaware is a very handsome model. Gorgeous boy.

Not really a headshot, but still a lovely photo of Wootton Bassett. He reminds me quite a bit of his great-grandfather, Gone West.
