My name is Chelsea and I'm an equine photographer & equestrian. ⁣

Some people just never outgrow the horse-crazy phase and I am definitely one of those people. As a child, I was always playing with Bryers & I would trot around at recess pretending to be Black Beauty!
⁣
Honestly, although I'm all grown up...not much has changed. I still have some of my Bryers displayed in my office but I've upgraded my toy horses to the real thing! ⠀⠀⠀
