Horses in Pasture

Vertical outdoor photograph of an adult and several children standing beside a gray metal livestock fence while interacting with horses in a broad green pasture. A large chestnut horse with a white blaze running down its face and white markings on its lower legs stands on the left side behind the fence, facing toward the group. A smaller brown-and-white horse or pony stands closer to the center fence line, partially obscured by the people. An adult man wearing a dark maroon short-sleeved shirt and jeans stands near the center, leaning slightly toward the animals while extending one arm over or through the fence. Four children gather around him. One child closest to the camera wears a pale mint or light blue dress with a small colorful pattern and bright pink boots. Two children to the right wear patterned and bright pink clothing while facing the horses. A young boy at the far right wears a dark top and distinctive horizontally striped leggings or pants in blue, yellow, gray, and white. Dry tan shrubs and weeds cover the immediate foreground outside the fence. The pasture extends into the background with scattered houses, low farm buildings, trees, and a broad clear blue sky with faint wispy clouds.
