Brumby Catch by James Vereker

Features

ARTIST NOTES: In this image, the critical moment is captured as the halter is swung onto the head of the brumby in perfect position for the extended rope loop to drop down, over the nose, so that it can then be drawn tight for a safe and secure catch. The skill and training of the stock horse is paramount in holding its position, shadowing the wild brumby at speed but it will also react to the rider’s cues in an instant. The sepia photograph is printed professionally as an inkjet Giclée print on premium canvas, which is hand-stretched on a high quality timber moulding. Then it is coated with a protective 99% UV treatment to ensure a stable archival quality fine art product.
