What is the purpose of the title ? And BTW, why picture #3 ?

Nice collection
  4th on set 3 is more emotional. Fitting the title as it looks like is trying to go through the bars.
  3rd in set 1 is unexpected. Surprise expression in the background makes the shot in a completely different manner than the rest, other than having a part of a horse.
   Great portraits. 1st in set 5 stand out. You select it well for stand alone in the other post.
   
    This are my picks to resume the different emotions and responses I had going through the images.

  Oh, and "Obelix" excellent name for a horse. I had it as a motorbike plate in Las Vegas  8)

  Thanks for sharing!

You've captured their expressions very well. I like the first two in set 6.

Great to know that you can go out with your "real" cameras and lenses now!

I enjoy the gentle and sensitive side of the horses.

That's a lot of horses! I like sets 4 to 6 more than 1 to 3.

First set is a nice set (1 - 3) of Horse heads.

I also like the second set better (4 - 6).

Thank you, gentlemen for the comments. The more I meet horses the more I learn about them. For me the last set #10 clearly shows that I grow with the task...

I hope for tomorrow at dusk.

Quite possibly I will have some fog at dusk again ... like last year ...  test my eyes and cameras to the edge ...

Just a word of caution: Time spent with horses can quickly devolve from obsession to addiction! Trust me -- I know! (And miss the horses I lived with and especially the invaluable life-lessons they taught me. It's precisely why I know, and have come to accept, that I'm a real horses'...uh...posterior? LOL)

Tomorrow I will visit some wild horses in the wild.

I am not drawn to horses at all. It is only because my daughter and my sister are very much into horses that I experience a lot of these encounters...

Keep a careful eye on them! (Have you noticed them hording sugar cubes or teasing large dogs -- even cats and children -- with long pieces of hay or dried grasses?) They may be asymptomatic, now, but if they begin to exhibit any unusual behavior around horses or present with acute equine affinity syndrome (AEAS or "horses arse"), have them seek qualified help immediately!

There is hope. I'm a survivor.
