Horse Riding Lesson

San Bartolomeo, Italy (Aug 18, 2006)
This is my niece Alice on Piccola (or Pilla as she call her horse) with her father Giuseppe. Alice likes horses very much and she is lucky enough to live in a place, a small village on the italian Alps, where people can still raise animals. Alice started to ride since she was very little. As she was among horses since when she was a toddler (they have also a stallion called Nevado), she is completely at easy with these animals many times her size. The horses themselves sense her confidence, and probably also the fact that she is not an adult, because they are much more calm around her than with anybody else (except Giuseppe).

how wonderful and beautiful and almost intimate .. brings back memories of learning to ride of my grandfather’s ranch 
Piccola doesn’t look very happy that you’re taking her photo. And Giuseppe looks very proud.
there is a beautiful warmth to this image..intimate, as daisies says. lovely.
alice looks totally trusting, and at ease, on pilla, even at her tender age, and i, who still find horses huge and very daunting, am impressed!

The black&white is really good in this one. Gives the photography a timeless feel. This could be a nice x-mas present to the three of them if you print and frame it...
