Hello everyone smile
I'm going to be doing a shoot soon and am can't find some good stuff on the internet for nudes with horses.
In fact, without safe-search on, it can get quite terrifying what pops up in the search, yikes.
Anywho, does anyone know of lists with nudes and horses they can share?

Thank you in advance smile

Offhand, Lady Godiva is the only well-known 'nude woman with horse' I can think of.  That was a really popular subject for Pre-Raphaelite painters, so you can probably find a lot.

I get the feeling that Sally Mann would probably have an image or two as well.

But overall, you won't find much that isn't at least softcore porn, let alone the really dirty stuff.  The horse is such a strong symbol of masculine, animal sexuality, that we even call those guys stallions.  Although I'm pretty sure it's more of a gay term now.

Also, there have been many, many texts written about how young women like horse riding because it's a chaste approximation of sex.  Not saying I agree or disagree ... but those are some darn good reasons as to why googling "nude woman + horse" is going to bring up porn.

there have been numerous questions/discussions on MM about lists with horses, so I'd try searching them and look for what you might find in those lists as a first step.

There are a few in my horse list, but I need to add more.

I recently shot down in IB, I played off a little of an American Indian theme. It was more difficult than I thought. Beach, horse, a lot to handle.

You would be perfect for this type of shoot, can't wait to see what you come up with.

OP: can't say I have ever photographed nudes with horses, but maybe try adding the term "fine art" to your search to get some ideas. I can only imagine what comes up without that term in the search... good luck

Type this link into Google:

site:modelmayhem.com/list horses

It will show you 85+ lists that others have made up already... using the phrase "horses"... here at Mayhem.

You might end up with 400-500 of the best horse images that people have created here on Mayhem.  I checked the link and saw some really exceptional horse and model images.  You will get a lot of great ideas on how to create model / horse themed images.  And...as youre looking through all the lists...makeup your own new "master list" of horse images that YOU find. 

You can use this special search function to search for any kinds of lists here at Mayhem.  Just change the word "horses" to whatever word you want to search for. 

Enjoy

I've always wanted to get nude women in cowboy hats and cowboy boots riding horses at a gallop through the desert.

Every woman I've found who owns a horse is a prude though.

I know what you mean!
I'll be attending an event in Maryland in August and they have a horse for rent for a few days. Many other models have posed with her, but I never have, so I am going to make sure I get used to being around the horse before posing with her.

This is a bit OT, but years ago I knew a model who owned a horse in the Ramona area and I shot her as well as a number of other models on her horse.
If you haven't thought of it, shooting nude without a saddle can cause rashes in rather awkward places...  so be careful.

I'd have to guess that, but since she asked this almost two years ago, she's already done the shoot by now.

Still got that stuff all over my port. Leenas port. And if you go with John and the caballeros of IB I suggest you hand them the beer AFTER they give you a horse. Love you long time Purdy lady.

I use Pinterest a lot rather than Google when looking for inspiration - I'm sure there'll be at least a few Lady Goddiva images on there.

I came here to say be careful, as a horse person no shoes around a horse makes me nervous. It hurts like a son of a gun,....then I noticed the thread age. Holy necro thread
