I very, very much wish I had made these images. But Julian Wolkenstein did. And he did it awesomely. Check out the method behind this horsey magic at FStop Magazine.
Favorite quote:
“One of the things we learned from the test shoot is that a horse’s headis incredibly big and you just need buckets and buckets of hairextensions, double or triple what you think. The stylist scoured Londonfor all of these hair extensions. I braided the horse’s hair and usedcolored beads in it. Some of this was done before hand, but most wasdone on the actual day of the shoot.”
Neighhhh, Florence.
Sometimes, a horse just wants to feel pretty…

Through a horses eyes all the set around them seemed 3 times bigger (i think). Boy how flattered they must have felt. Great photos… even though animal shoots make me go hmmm…
These are great! Tumbleweed and Annie want to wear pretty wigs too! Slick says “no way!”
The first horse looks like Cher, hahaha!
Is that first horse “Rick James…Bitch”?
I’ve seen stuff like this at horse shows.
Oh man…these are great. I raise you some hair hats: http://www.uchu-country.com/works/hairhats.html
That’s really amusing! Nice photos!
Straight bullshit. You people don’t respect any damn thing or any living creature. They are all just objects for your sick entertainment.
Think it wonderful amazing i find it beautiful that we have talent like this wonderful job!!Enjoyed seeing this art!
That aint no gotdamn talent. It’s a gotdamn shame that you see it as talent, too. Those horses are probably crying for some real HUMAN attention. Not to be used as objects for the sick enjoyment of a few.
Nice racial stereotyping. The lighting needs a lot of work.
Love these!
looks like photo shop to me!
People that into horses are perverted degenerate fuck heads. I lived next to one of them and she would lasso people off motorcycles while chasing them on her horse. Oh she was also a jew!
I can’t believe these nasty comments! Grow up, people!
I agree the lighting is not the best. The wigs are funny, tho.
Aww (L)
that one with the white-blonde hairs a propah beuty (L)
x3.
thee end one made me LOL
i love horsees too bits x3
cyaa
too uuse with the nasty comments (:
“why leave a comment if your gonnah be nasty ?
why waste yeh time eh ?”
(: cyaaaaa!
Very creative and entertaining!
Nice to see some morons came out to tell the world what they think, they always do!
These are stunning. Have you tried styling dogs? Where can I purchase prints?
Awesome!
I live among a herd of horses and must tell you that horses love kind attention. My guys stand still, let me braid them, scratch them, or just fuss with them, and when the have enough, they move on…unless I ask them to stay – they comply.
They are not held down or tied and if they leave – they are no repercussions.
So – I can put your minds (collectively) at ease…their faces, eyes are relaxed…their ears show you that they are interested – not scared.
I think this project is awesome, and funny to us naturally, but it also brings to light that horses are cool creatures and not just livestock, and there are rescue horses out there, who look absolutely smashing once someone fusses with them.
I think – it’ ALL good! Congrats to Julian Wolkenstein! Keep doing this! Sometimes it’s needed to humanize an animal to help humans relate better to the companion-animal-horse, and not to the sports-equipment-horse.
No-one would send these photographed creatures to slaughter and eat them..right? It would be quite difficult!
Great photos! I used to have a Frisian mare, her black mane went clear down to her chest. I wonder which hairstyle would have suited her.
These aren’t wigs: they actually braided, extended, or styled the horses’ manes. And, by all accounts, the horses enjoyed the fuss and the grooming.

I must say I’m a bit surprised at some of these comments. Relax, people!
i think its hilarious, and i think its even more hilarious how people think this is torture.. wanna know torture? i work with horses everyday and when those things stomp on your foot when your trying to shave the hair out of their ears.. they deserve this.. or a good slap.
