A horse races through buttercups at Cades Cove, Tennessee.

 

It’s incredible something so beautiful as buttercups can be so poisonous.

 

I learned buttercups are poisonous. If livestock eats the plant, it blisters their mouths, causes gastrointestinal irritation, and, if ingested in large quantities, can cause death. Livestock are intelligent and get the hint to stop eating it when symptoms immediately occur.

“Horses Blazing Through the Buttercups”

“Horses Blazing Through the Buttercups”

While in Cades Cove, Tennessee, I love watching the horses run to the end of the field when they get through work. The horses are sweaty and have dirty saddle marks on their tummies.

One by one, I photograph the horses blazing through the buttercups. Several of them would glance my way as they charged past. I clapped my hands and shouted, “Good job! Good job!” It was a beautiful and amazing sight!

Good Job!

“Good Job!”

A horse sprints gleefully in Cades Cove, Tennessee to meet his buddies at the end of the pasture. 

If you follow my work, you know I love photographing the horses at Cades Cove after they finish their trail rides. The leaves were starting to turn, and I wanted to get some fall color in the background. 

As they bounded towards the last hill, I could see their heads bobbing up and down. They glanced over and saw me–I commended them for their efforts. I said, “Good job” as they galloped past.

Quitting Time

“Quitting Time”

The horses in Cades Cove, Tennessee work hard during the day taking guests on trail rides. I love photographing them when they get off from work then sprint to see the other horses in the pasture. The markings from the saddle can still be seen on his back.

 

I envisioned this shot when I saw the beautiful yellow flowers. By the time I got to photograph the horses, it was raining. It did not stop me from taking the shot.

I love to watch the horses in the pastures of Cades Cove. My favorite time to photograph them is when they are set free in the pasture after their long day of riding on the trails.

The mane of this beautiful horse is half black and half white—it flows in the wind as he charges through the field.

I love watching the horses in the fields of Cades Cove, Tennessee. The ironweed made the sight even more beautiful. Not until I got home did I notice the beggar’s-lice tangled in his mane. It gave him a nice hairdo.

I always get excited when I see the horses out in the pasture in Cades Cove. This particular morning, the fog was thick and made for the perfect scenery!

It’s Quitting Time!

"It's Quitting Time!"

Judy Royal Glenn Photography

Not every shot can be taken in perfect lighting, and I don’t always nail the exposure, but when the opportunity presents itself, I take the shot.

It was quitting time after a long day on the trails in Cades Cove. This Appaloosa horse was excited to have his saddle off and able to run free.

Charge!

"Charge!"

I enjoyed watching a herd of horses relax and play in a field after their long day of work at Cades Cove. I am sure they enjoyed taking people on trail rides, but it was neat watching them just be free to do as they pleased.

One by one, they crossed a field and galloped towards where the other horses were resting. It was as if they entered the field saying, "Hey guys, I'm here!"
