Seamus in a harness for the first time.
December 11, 2003

He wasn't thrilled with either the britching or the blinkers, but he was a good boy and generally accepted my voice as a calming factor.  I think with some practice, he'll be just fine.
Never mind that I have the britching adjusted improperly.  I didn't want to make him more agitated by fiddling with it.  The harness is the one I've been using on Symphony...
With this angle / lighting, you can make out his body clip pretty easily.
I left his head and legs...
"Okay Dad... I haven't kicked the crap out of you yet (or the kind lady holding me), and you've taken your pictures... can we be done now?"
Here's the money shot.  We were trying to get his ears up, but with the first-time blinkers and two horses in the arena - he wanted nothing to do with any sounds except for whatever lions might be sneaking up on him.
Here's a nice sleigh shot that I liked.
This is the reason we went through this exercise.
I'll admit that I wanted to see how he'd react to the harness too.  :)

Apologies to BarnHag
I told you I thought the photo was lovely.

The final outcome...
It's on the door in 11" X 17" format.  
It was the largest I could get on short notice.
