This tour is tailor-made to have the full experience of horse photography in the Netherlands. The country is famous for its beautiful black Friesian horses. They are very special horse models because of their unique looks and movements. This country offers many great nature experiences such as huge areas of sand dunes, beautiful sand beaches in the west, pine forests and heather fields. Thinking of the Netherlands in spring you immediately think of field with beautiful and colorful flowers. All of this and more will be included in the tour.
We will photograph Friesian horses with charisma and long manes. We will also photograph horses of other breeds to bring in some variety. This will include horses that perform tricks or that just have something extra. We will focus on horses in freedom but will photograph beautiful portraits as well.
If you want to photograph Friesian horses in beautiful spring time, this is the tour for you. To make this tour extra special we'll have one session where we visit a natural park to search for and photograph wild living Konik horses.
