Description
These magnificent young Clydesdale draft horses are caught galloping to the barn followed by a mule who just wants to be part of the herd. This is a series of 5 shots taken as the last horse is cresting the knoll and coming up behind the others. A fourth horse lags behind on the road and eventually is lost in later shots. But the mule puts in a strong effort and manages to keep up even though left in the rear, seemingly braying, “Wait for Me Fellas!”
There are four sets of these shots in various exposures and highlights, Green Glow, Dark Background, Color Selection, and Artistic.

Clydesdales is the quintessential embodiment of the familiar draft horse. They are beautiful movers with a high stepping gait, which made them popular as flashy carriage horses. Today they are popular in the show ring and as fancy carriage horses. The most well-known Clydesdales are the Anheuser-Busch Clydesdales.
The Clydesdale was bred to have large, well-proportioned feet and sound legs for walking on hard, cobblestone roads. They have longer legs and a more streamlined body than most draft breeds. The name 'Clydesdale' is from the Clyde Valley in Lanarkshire, Scotland (previously known as Clydesdale) where it is believed to have originated. It is the only living heavy horse from Scotland.
The mule is a cross between a male donkey (Jack) and a mare. Because of the large difference between the donkey and horse families, the offsprings (mules) ordinarily do not reproduce and are thus not considered as a separate breed. Mules have short, thick heads, long ears, thin legs, small hoofs, and little hair on the root of the tail. They are most famous for their great stubbornness, loud braying or “heehawing,” and bad disposition. Mules were never as common as horses in the U.S. and, in the peak horse year of 1918, there were 21 million horses, and only about five million mules.

Lovely action image of horses ; one of my favorite animals and the little one is a bonus! The monochromatic scenery pushed the subjects forward!

I have recently developed an affinity for the Clydesdales horse. I grew-up taking care of horses at a boarding stable so I have always liked horses. These guys are truly magnificent. Love the Donkey and the semi-monochrome affect.
