Kennedy has been on of my favorite clients to photograph every year! Each year, we capture something new, and this year was no different. Kennedy purchased a beautiful gray OTTB, named Zero, and had been working hard all year to compete in the Retired Racehorse, Thoroughbred Make Over Project.
With her outfit on point -this time, both dressed in royal blue Le Mieux - and the summer sun relaxing into the afternoon dip, we photographed the bond Kennedy and Zero have forged over endless hours learning and training together.
I asked her at the end of the session what her plans for Zero were in the future. (Many who compete in the Thoroughbred Make Over Project purchase a horse to train and sell the following fall.) Kennedy looked over at Zero, and in her eyes, I knew her heart belonged to that horse. He would be staying at her barn, spoiled with her love and the many adventures of growing and competing in local shows, during the many years that lie ahead.
