Mom! You’re My World

Within the cherished realm of the stud farm, where time stands still and every moment holds the promise of new life, I, an equine veterinarian, find myself immersed in the wondrous tapestry of the foaling season. It is a time when being present around the clock becomes a coveted blessing, for within those hours, I am granted the privilege to witness the profound bond between foal and dam, etching their journey in every frame of their intertwined lives. On a day of unblemished beauty, I found myself standing amidst the sprawling expanse of the paddock, my gaze transfixed upon a scene of breathtaking enchantment. A mere few weeks old, the young foal stood beside his dam, their connection palpable in the very air that surrounded them. In that timeless moment, it was as if the young colt whispered sweet secrets into his dam's tender ears, expressing with every unspoken word, "Mom, you are my world." Entranced by this sacred exchange, I summoned the artistry of my lens, capturing the essence of their unspoken language and profound bonding. It was a serene tableau that spoke volumes, a testament to the boundless love and devotion that exists within the realm of equine kinship. How fortunate I am to be blessed as both an equine breeding veterinarian and an avid fine art photographer, forever entwined in the delicate threads of these equine lives, preserving their remarkable story through the lens of art.
