Black Caviar - at home with Peter Moody

We visited the champion at the stables she's staying in on Sunday morning.  Peter met us there, and the resultant images are below.  I was able to put the pretty muzzle and eye darkening gloss on her, and Peter let me do this myself, meaning I had 5 minutes with the mare.  There was a little bit of 'I don't know you, not sure about you touching me' to begin with, then she settled down, and had a little cuddle as well.

Cathy and I fussed over her a little bit more, with the sheepskin mit, then Peter put the bit on, and we got these images.  I love capturing a bond between horse and person, and therefore really like this sequence of images.  She was tired and it was her day off, and Peter had a plane to catch, so I kept it short, but there's enough nice material here to feel very happy about.
