The stunning image of ‘Laddy’, a ten year old Welsh cob, is one of a series of beautifully shot portraits featuring in Tim’s new book ‘Equus’, released on 13th October. Tim visited World Horse Welfare in Snetterton, Norfolk, in May 2007 after contacting the charity to ask about suitable horses he could photograph to symbolise welfare.

Tim says: “The series of shots in which Laddy appears shows how man can affect the horse and the responsibility we have towards their welfare. The image is very emotive and raises the question of what happened to Laddy, as well as the important work World Horse Welfare does to look after horses like him.”

Laddy, who lost his right eye as a result of an injury, arrived at World Horse Welfare after a call for help from his seriously ill owner who was finding it increasingly difficult to cope. After a period of rehabilitation by staff at Hall Farm in Norfolk, Laddy spent a term with a local college as an all round riding horse. He is now enjoying life with borrower Maxine Debenham from Thetford who loves him to bits.
