I shot these with my 70-200 f/4. I got some good shots but needed a little more light for the majority of the 200+ that I took.

These Horses are amazing, they are the ones that George Patton saved from the Russians at the end of WWII. Thankfully he did. www.lipizzaner.com/

:ibwndrlst:

 

and i didnt know horses could live that long

 

The breed not the horses...

 

ohh.. the way you worded it sounded like they were the original horses that were saved.

 

nice pictures

 

The only thing I know about these horses is that they are the horses that Denzel and Gene Hackman discussed in Crimson Tide. Is it true they are black when they are born, but then they all turn white?

 

Wow, nice pics!

 

Cool, jup! I saw them once when I was a kid...so impressive.

 

nice pics. were you using a flash?

 

 

shaddup

 

no flash, I was about eight rows back. An IS lens would have helped, which I have now. I told the wife I would do better next time if a had one, she goes .
