Glo with Mabelene, the third horse in the Beautiful Horse of Michigan series, is nicknamed Beauty. And that she is! And her owners treat her like a queen! When I was there to photograph her, Jim and Cheryl, her owners who had nominated her for the project, adoringly looked on, lovingly watching Beauty’s every move. (Of course part of that was to prevent her from rolling because she was sparkling clean for the photo shoot — and for a show she was headed for soon after.) Yes, we did leap into action a couple times when she almost to rolled!

Here’s what her owners wrote: “Beauty is a very sweet horse and she has great markings. She is very willing and really enjoys people. We ‘Love’ her so very much. Everyone who sees her remarks about how beautiful she looks and when they meet her and find out that her personality is so sweet, they can’t help but smile and want to touch her.”

With a name like “Glo with Mabelene” I had to do something feminine and pretty for her painting, hence the pink background. It sets off her bold white and black markings nicely!
