Have just watched the slide show of this year's horse drive. Absolutely stunning!! You two are phenomenally talented and you wear it so lightly and then POW! the power is in the pictures and it hits you smack between the eyes.
Every one is a winner. Love it, love it, love it!
It's amazing guys, thank you for sharing it with us. What a gift.
I'm going to watch it again!
Love Laura

Horses, wranglers, photographers and just down to earth good people. The 2010 Montana horse drive in Three Forks Montana draws in thousands of spectators to experience and see hundreds of horses that are moved over 37 miles through rugged terrain and through the streets of Three Forks. Wednesday, Val Westover and Stephanie Adriana helped set up camp and finalize preparations. Thursday, they picked up the participants at the airport.
Friday, they jumped on their horses along with the other wranglers and rounded up hundreds of horses across hundreds of acres and corralled them for the drive. Saturday, they picked up the photographers and shadowed the horse drive capturing incredible images. Sunday, they jumped back on their horses and helped move the horses 17 more miles to their final destination.
The horses, the incredible landscape, the photography, the people, the life altering experience... "It's too hard to put into words what we experienced."
Here are some images that I took the other night right before photographing a group of 22 people. Needless to say, I didn't have much time to get these images but the birds were very cooperative and I have a huge soft spot in my heart for birds. These images are available for purchase.
