Los Caballos was established in August 2010 as a photoblog. All the photographs were taken personally by me. Becaues I am engaged in photography for a long time, at least 15 years (if following with a simple old camera carriages at the entrance to the Koscieliska valley counts ), part of the presented pictures may be older than the date of publication and come from earlier sets. I photograph many different themes, but it is the most important part of my efforts. For this reason, and maybe for a few others, which are less important, I decided to create a site exclusively for horses.
About the blog
Blog is for me very suitable, because I prefer to take rather reportage pictures. It is of course a bit hard to photograph horses in a studio, but on the other hand there is arranged photography. The result is that the place and time is important and corresponds to the principles of the blog. I also do not have anything against comments, and actually I strongly encourage to exchange views and discussions related to photography and first of all to the horses. Nor do I have nothing against discussions only distantly related, for which the pictures are just a pretext, but in one condition – if I be able to see this pretext.
About andalusians
There are many breeds of horses, even a few hundreds. In this incredible multiplicity on the first place, for a long time, I put the horses of pure Spanish blood, that is pre. This is of course my personal choice and you do not have to agree with it. I am writing this because it is the key to the pictures I do, and even to the name of this site.
Andalusians, as the horses from Iberian peninsula are usually named, are the very old breed. It is a consequence of the appearance in Europe in the eighth century Arabs and Berber horses crossed with the native races of the peninsula. The long history cause that the spanish horses are close relative to many other breeds. In it already mentioned above Berber and Lusitano horses, Lipizzaners and of course many American breeds, such as American Quarter Horse, Appaloosa, Mustang or Paint Horse. On those horses at first I point my camera lenses, when I have to or I can choose.
Another interesting term, allowing to not get lost in horse multiplicity, useful for me, is a “baroque horse”. The term refers to several breeds, not necessarily related to each other. They are rather heavy horses, coming from the Middle Ages. These include of course Iberian horses as well as Lipizzaners, Neapolitan horses, Danish Frederiksborg horses and others.
As I have already mentioned, I seize any opportunity to take pictures of horses, if I have one. So it is probably only a matter of time when there will be on Los Caballos arabians or hanowers horses. As the Spanish proverb says:
