“Amazing day watching and photographing these wild horses. We had a wonderful experience with Jen. She has an in-depth knowledge of these horses, their personalities and daily habits (and her photography skills are awesome as well). She loves the horses like her own. We were positioned to not only get some great photos but watched their interactions with each other from a safe distance. Cannot recommend it enough. The horses are beautiful and Jen’s personality and friendliness was icing on the cake! Would definitely do it again.”
