Welcome to Fern Valley

Here in central Alberta prime farm country,my husband Martin and I work together raising beef cattle and Appaloosa horses. Fern valley appaloosas have long been known for their quality of temperament conformation and color.I have recently rediscovered a love of writing and have published 2 collections of poetry. "Telling Tails" and Tails Trails and Campfire stories" . I look forward to a future spreading my wings as an author and as a horse woman .

Photo Shoot

A while back I mentioned I had agreed to do something a little out of my comfort zone, no not the presentation , which was also out of character for me , but by the way went very well! 
Not quite ready to join Toastmasters, but I got the job done and had great reviews .
No this was something a bit different.  
  I got a message some time ago , that there was a photographer looking to take some photos of Appaloosas and their person. 
Well I am not a huge fan of having my picture taken but you all know how proud I am of my beauties!
 So I signed up.Small world , I actually know this gal, I gave her riding lessons when she was a child. So what a great time I had visiting and catching up, didn't feel like a photo shoot at all!
She emailed me the link to the photos yesterday, and I am very pleased! The horses look great, and actually I think so do I! 
Not really the cover girl type, but I think Megan captured me and who I am quite well 
 My boy Johnny! 
 My beautiful girls

Great photos of you! The photographer did a wonderful job capturing the special relationship between you & your Appy's!! I clicked through to view the rest of your gallery, and then tried to see more of her work but wasn't able to find a way. I like a more natural approach to photos with feeling, and she does that well and with such wonderful subjects!!

Nice job on the photos! I really like the second last one even though it has a horse nose photo bomb- nothing like a horse hug!

Oh Sherry they're beautiful! I agree that she captured the true "you" and in your glory amongst your gorgeous babies...I'd love to do that someday too. Isn't it amazing how good our horses make us feel, and look?? :)

How lucky is that, what a great photo shoot. All's I could think when I saw the second picture was, "Do these spots make my butt look big?"
