All the Pretty Horses
Vintage shirt and jacket, Luella skirt, Leanne’s own hat and boots, Urban Outfitters ring, patch by Eleanor.
I have always been fascinated by people’s obsessions with horses. Horseback riding isn’t just a hobby or a sport, but a lifestyle in itself. Twenty-year-old Leanne has been riding for 16 years, running her own stables for three, and is now a professional show jumper. This is a series of portraits of Leanne and her love for horses, styled suitably Luella-esque!

Hello, you. June’s theme will be LONGING. Unlike more-acute forms of desire like desperation or need, longing is a sweet ache—more pining for something than dying for it. It’s nostalgia, homesickness, boredom, a persistent feeling of lack, dreaming of escape/the future. It’s summer: summer homes & cottages, stuffy summer bedrooms, sun-bleached memories of summers past. The shadow of September that hangs over June. It’s secret hangouts, crushes, unrequited love. Send what you’ve got here, and thanks. ♥
so beautiful.

Log in to replyAww this is the sweetest thing. I used to love horses but then when I was 8 I went horseback riding only to find out I’m deathly allergic to horses. Damn biological inconveniences…
This a beautiful photo shoot nonetheless.
Log in to replyI love the fact that she’s so passionate about something and makes a career out of it. Very much jealous and awed but it.

Log in to replyI used to be obsessed with horses…I would train other peoples horses…they would also call me the horse whisper….
Log in to replyMan, I used to be obsessed with horses. I never had my own pony because I couldn’t afford it, but I worked at my local stables, went riding every week, I still have all my pony books somewhere… I quit after a bad fall and then my depression and anxiety started, but now I’m over all that (over a decade later!) I’d really like to start again.
Hmmm.
