One moment. All four hooves off the ground, the whole body suspended between earth and sky. This is the Hackney — extravagant, spirited, and utterly, defiantly alive.
The Hackney is one of the UK's rarest native breeds, developed in Norfolk and Yorkshire in the 18th century and once celebrated worldwide for its extraordinary high-stepping action. At the height of its popularity the Hackney was exported across the globe. Today it is critically endangered, with fewer than 200 pure Hackneys remaining in the UK.
This image was made during the Wild Hearts project — six years documenting all thirteen of the UK's rare native horse breeds before their stories are lost. I had one chance to make this image. I didn't miss it.
Printed on Hahnemühle Photo Rag with natural deckle edges, float mounted to reveal the full character of the paper, hand signed, numbered, and packaged by me before it leaves for its new home.
Limited edition of 25. Once sold, this image is retired permanently.
