"These partners are Hannah, my daughter, and Smudge, on of our three barn cats. Smudge is very patient, which makes him an excellent mouser. As you can see, he is quite healthy because of his hunting prowess.
"Hannah is wearing her riding clothes from an early morning ride. She will often go out to the barn to watch her father work, breaking in a new colt or to play in the barn with the animals. I wanted to capture Hannah and Smudge in a rare moment of calm as they cooled off in the shade from the barn door."
