Legends Seven War {Luxury Horse Photos}

Do you have that one special horse in your life? That horse that holds all your secrets, has seen you at your best, has seen you at your worst and still loves you anyway? A horse that deserves luxury horse photos that you can cherish forever? My recent commission is exactly that one special horse.

Legends Seven War (his pasture mates know him as Raccoon) is 26 years old and truly the sweetest boy. Because Raccoon is in his senior years, his mom decided it was time to create some luxury horse photos. Portraits that she will cherish for her entire lifetime.

Raccoon and his mom, Trish, met when Raccoon was just four years old. He was brought on as a trail riding horse where Trish worked and she starting working with him. One day, the company decided to sell Raccoon and Trish didn’t think twice about making him her own and they have been together ever since.

He was with her on the Coast, then he was with her during college, he was with her when she got married and he was with her when she had babies of her own. Raccoon has been a trail horse, a barrel racer, a hunter/jumper, and pulls a sleigh in winter. Some of these things may not have been his thing but he is game to try anything! His current passion is archery.

While thinking about Raccoon’s blog post and all that he has done in his 26 years, I came across this article and thought it was perfect to share here.

“How Much Can A Horse Carry”

In my experience, a horse can carry an infinite amount.

They can carry the weight of broken hearts, broken homes, and broken bodies. Countless tears sometimes comb their tangled manes. Moments when parents and friends cannot be there to help and hold a person, horses embrace and empower. They carry physical, mental, and emotional handicaps. They carry hopes and dreams; and they will carry the stress of your day when you can’t carry it anymore.

They carry graduations, they carry new careers, they carry moves away from everything familiar, they carry marriages, they carry divorces, they carry funerals, they carry babies before they are born and sometimes they carry the mothers who cannot carry their own baby. They carry mistakes, they carry joy, they carry the good and they carry the bad. They carry drugs and addictions, but they also carry the celebrations.

They will carry you to success when all you felt is failure. They will carry you, never knowing the weight of your burdens and triumphs.

If you let them , they will carry you through life, and life is hard, life is heavy. But a horse will make you feel weightless under it all.”
