Ashley Malden, Equestrian (PORTRAIT 2021)

Missy Lyons, in her book "Cowboys Don't Sing", says "There is no better place to heal a broken heart than on the back of a horse." This is true for Anneliese, the model in these photos. Anneliese is passionate about all things equestrian - the rides, the competitions, the fashion. In a year when Victoria's strict lockdown laws saw Anneliese forced into lockdown and unable to compete, her bond with Syd saw her through. Their relationship gave her the strength needed to brush this off, and get up every morning to go to work as an nurse in a local hospital.
