Photo Challenge: 46 Postcard-Worthy Equine Cloudscapes

This is one photo challenge subject we could see ourselves holding over… and over… and over again. Check out these jaw-dropper gorgeous shots courtesy of our readers!

Blue skies are great… but true beauty can’t be found without at least a little bit of cloud. There’s probably a good metaphor in there for horse life and life in general, but we’ll leave that open to your interpretation.

In the meantime: check out these incredible photos submitted by readers!

Margaret Wilson: I took this photo of the clouds then noticed my horse Oliver standing in the foreground.
