This is me getting a cuddle from Brandi.

We spent a couple hours on a Sunday afternoon visiting Sweetwater Stables in Blackstock. The owner Helen told us of her love for horses and how she converted her farm from cows to a safe haven for her rescued horses. Sweetwater Stables has an incredibly beautiful barn on 300 acres of property and has been in Helen’s family for over 45 years. Helen offers boarding and trail riding. You can see more about her stables here: https://sweetwaterstable.com/

My childhood included horses on our farm and it was truly a pleasure to be around them again. From the minute I took my first inhalation of farm air a feeling of warmth and serenity came over me.

We created portraits of horses and ponies for Helen and some of her boarders and are looking forward to our next visit in July.
