Creating a successful photo shoot with horses

Having help on animal photo shoots
Scott Stulberg: This image is of horses. I do animal photo shoots like this a lot.
This was taken at a ranch and we hired them for two days to take the horses all over the place. We hired them to take other animals, too, like mountain lions and bears.
You can do this, too. You can actually have a shoot with wild animals that are tame and were raised young -- they're not as wild. You can shoot the animals in great positions. (click the image for a larger version)
This image was horses down at this dude ranch. We positioned them on the lake to have the reflections.
I absolutely love shooting horses. This shoot meant a lot to me.
In conclusion
If you want to photograph horses, or wild animals more generally, it's often useful to plan on shooting at an animal ranch that specializes in letting photographers do photo shoots and can accommodate shooting at multiple locations.
