I met this magestic horse in an open field while passing through a valley in south Iceland. I decided to stop for a moment and capture the horses in the valley. This guy seemed very interested in me and came over. I took the oportunity and snapped a few portrait shots and then thought to capture a few wide angles on the other side of the car. The horse however had other ideas and followed me. Now I'm not used to being around horses so as a precaution I decided to step into the car, just in case this guy was not friendly. Either this upset the horse or he wanted to show his dominance... so he literally sat down on my car. So now this portrait photoshoot in beautiful Icelandic nature had become a staredown with a horses ass on my passenger window. In panic of having a horses ass shatter through the window, I threw my gear away and slowly proceeded to move the car, but completely forgetting to capture the silly moment on camera. As soon as I started the car, the horse stood up and turned his head with a grin ???? I immediately started laughing and decided I should probably keep moving before the horse decided to pull any more stunts ????

No horses, cars or photographers were harmed during this shenanigan.

Model unkown. Location: Iceland, southcoast.
