These are a couple more photos from the piece on Maryland horse racing. You can actually read the whole article here.
This is Tom Bowman a vet and horse breeder who lives on Maryland's Eastern Shore. He was a beautiful little horse farm out in Chestertown. I drove out to shoot with him and a cold overcast day which turned out to be fairly appropriate considering the article basically turned into a tale of the slow demise of horse racing.
Tom, though was extremely nice and answered all the horse breeding questions I peppered him with. The colt in the photo I believe was only about four days old...but don't quote me on that. As you can see in the photo that accompanies the article the colt didn't at all fit even the smallest harness they had.
Seeing a horse farm like Tom's really makes you hope that we really don't turn all of America into suburbia. There needs to be places with picket fences, rolling green hills, dirt roads and creeks cutting little veins into it all. You lose track of time a little out there. Lost time is far too hard to find as it is.
