very nice light.  The combination of the soft dying light, slowly moving horses and a rural place and pace  makes for a very tranquil scene.  The type Mongo would love to immerse and lose himself in for some time.

You have captured a very nice feeling in these images Armando. From Mongo's observation, it looks like you were on the edge of minimum shutter speed with the fading light.

Nice work and thanks for taking Mongo somewhere nice for a while.

Beautifully captured Armando!  Wonderful light and mood.  One of the horses reminds me of a mare I owned many years ago....

Thanks for the comments

I forgot to mention we made an effort to be there before sunrise

I was amazed at the behavior of the horses,  they surrounded the truck, and started eating from the sacks

once the food was at the feeders fights would break every so often ...

These group is for breading, they are not for riding

hehehe, no worries , impossible to tell the time by just looking at the images

The exposure was measured on the white horses, this makes the photos quite contrasty and gives the impression of being darker, I like the effect and didn't mess with it during post processing
