Meet Mollie Sibthorpe and Reevesgate Diamond Jubilee.


On an incredibly crisp and fresh January morning, Mollie braved the cold for a wintery photoshoot! The frost had been just beautiful (albeit slightly inconvenient for many of us!) for a few days in Essex and we were lucky enough to get the shimmery, hazy glow early one morning that I had been longing for!

A Farming Family


Mollie and her family are the proud proprietors of Reevesgate Farm. The Home of the Bowtells Herd of Limousin Cattle, and Reevesgate Coloured Ponies. This shoot was specifically with Reevesgate Diamond Jubilee - more fondly known as Jubbly.

About Jubbly


Jubbly is a 13 year old Registered Working Hunter Show Pony, and he proudly still is still in tact! Not that you'd know he was a Stallion; he was incredibly polite on the day of our photoshoot. We had a few floaty show-off steps when he first emerged from the barn - icy minus 5 temperatures, a few days kept in due to frozen fields and the excitement of photoshoot prep can do that sometimes! But clever Jubbly soon settled and did his best posing for us in the limited time we had to race the sunlight melting the frost.


Here are some of the results. Mollie wears long tan suede boots with her matching tassels with a cosy knit jumper, and a pair of well-fitting flattering jeans! Perfect for the occasion. Warm and practical. We did have a coat to pop on between moving to locations, and a rug nearby to throw on Jubbly (not that he really needed it for the moment!)

Hello, my name is Holly...

Welcome to my blog

I am an equine photographer based in Essex, England. I've owned and ridden horses always, and I've never known a life without them! I've started this little blog for my many ramblings. I've always liked to write, but previously had no outlet for it - now I do! I write about all my photography adventures, horses and dogs so if you like any of those things, you're in the right place! Maybe we'll even get to work together some day...
