"He has galloped through our dreams, added richness to our lives, and served us faithfully in war and peace..." Welcome to the LOVE OF HORSES group; Flickr's largest group dedicated exclusively to equine photography and equine related art. Whether you are an owner, breeder, rider, model horse collector, artist, or simply love horses, this group is dedicated to HORSES and the many ways in which horses have touched our lives. Open to all species of equine; from the majestic heavy horse Draft breeds to the humble donkey. Mules & Zebra's most welcome! IMPORTANT: Please TAG your photos with: "LOH " Below is a pic of "Rio Dell Ombre" ("Ombre" for short), our official and adopted mascot for the this group. The story of how Ombre came to be adopted by the members of this group begins HERE, with continuing updates HERE Photo by LOH member Julie_b1 GUIDELINES -------------------------- This group is all about horses - HORSES ONLY PLEASE (no humans!) Your photo should have a horse in it - if not, it will be deleted. EMPHASIS IS ON THE HORSE - NOT HUMANS, NOT HORSEMANSHIP ( i.e. not someone riding, kissing, hugging a horse, not someone feeding, training, or grooming a horse, not cute barn cats or dog companions, not cute kids hugging, kissing, playing with horses, etc). If humans dominate the theme of the photo, it will be removed. Additionally, landscape-type photos where the horse(s) is a teeny-tiny speck in the distance, indistinct, or barely visible, will also be removed. Please post your own material (be original). If posting photos that are not your own ( i.e. taken from another web site, scanned from a calendar, book, magazine, etc), PLEASE credit the original source (name of artist, photographer, book, a link, some kind of reference, etc). If we recognize copyrighted and/or plagiarized images stolen from another source without giving credit to the original source, user may be removed from this group and all his/her pictures removed also. Leaving comments behind on other members' photos is highly encouraged and appreciated. We also welcome images from artistic renderings such as paintings, sketches, drawings, model horses, sculpture, statues, etc. For those who are interested in horse collectibles, see: MODEL HORSES last updated: 04-APRIL-2012
