Through the horse’s ears [PICTURES]
We are sure you will agree that every view looks better when seen through the ears a horse. Whether it’s rolling fields, a sunny beach or a woodland trail, it’s a sight that can’t be beaten.
We asked Horse & Hound readers to send in their favourite pictures taken on horseback and we received a fantastic response with many stunning shots.
Here are a selection of our favourites…
