Tips for Equine (Horse) photography?

[Justin McDonald]

I did a search and could not find anything so I figured I would see if any of you amazing photographers do Horses, and if so what tips do you have. I know the angles of horses is very critical so as not to make them look goofy, and each breed has it own special characteristics, but that is about it so anything you have would help.
Thanks

Although I didn't click on any of them, I've found some results if you type in "tips for equine photography" on Google.

Hello Justin,

It depends on what you want to photograph - horses grazing, showjumping, movement, portraits.
I used to do a lot of equine photography as a photographer/reporter for a weekly newspaper. If you want to send me a private message with your email details, I will send you an email in return with some tips and tricks, as there is too much to share in the space confines of this forum? There is an occasional user on this forum, Drew Smith, who has experience of photographing horses too. You could inbox him as well.

Kind regards,
Denise
