Horse Hairstyles?

I remembered these photos they other day and thought I would make a post on them. Below is a quote taken from Julian Wolkenstein's website (click here). Julian is an artist and has created a wide range of interesting images.

"Of course we view our animals with fondness, we often bestow our animals with human traits, little wigs, clothes, and such.

But with such a majestic creature as a horse our reaction is less whimsical,  the size and nature of a horse commands respect. They have been alongside humans for so much of our history.

This Pin-up series takes dressing animals up to a extreme, working with the horses natural hair, additional hair extensions and over all grooming with dramatic lighting provides a wry humour.

Our reaction is mixed, its not whimsical, but it is definitely not serious either, we are left questioning our relation to, and our projections on animals."

I love these images for the purpose of the photo but don't think I will go braiding Trooper's main into dreadlocks any time soon! What do you think of the images?

Love Laura
