Meet Savannah and Mystic, the most dynamic duo full of optimism and trust, originally meeting at the Southern Cross Guest Ranch now working towards competitive eventing and jumping. When Mystic was a yearling in 2017, she knew she’d be Savannah’s far sooner than Savannah did. Fast forward to their portraits in 2020, Mystic has grown into a sassy, friendly, in your pocket kind of filly.
Listening to the way Savannah described Mystic made it clear that this horse is not only growing with her but their bond has become unbreakable:
“Mystic has always been a sassy, friendly, in your pocket kind of filly. We have had the entire experience together from halter breaking, building trust, ground work, to saddle breaking. Our work has not stopped there. We continue to challenge each other to learn and perfect our skills. Mystic has taught me just as much, if not more, than what I have been able to teach her. Mystic is a natural athlete and surprises me more and more as her skills mature.”
Savannah is the type of person you meet and do not easily forget, she is best described as an old soul full of kindness and the perfect balance of introvert and extrovert. Looking through her gallery it is no brainer that Savannah is passionate about her horse and constantly living her best life.
One of my favorite aspects in creating their portraits was their commitment to constantly challenging one another in a skillset and mental way. While they often enjoy trail riding and driving the cows, Savannah realized that Mystic’s heart leapt for jumping. Her natural athleticism over jumps drove Savannah to take a chance on switching from riding a Western discipline to English and needless to say, she has no regrets.
It is not always an option to have water scenes included in your portraits, but if you have a water horse and access to water there is a good chance I will be all in. The portraits created in water are true to Savannah and Mystic’s connection and trust with one another. Looking through this section of her gallery showcases exactly what it means to be a horse girl living your life with a dream horse.
