At last I managed to get some time on the scanner! All these original
photos were scanned with an Agfa Focus Color Plus using Photoshop on
a Macintosh. Resolution was 100 dpi. The resulting TIFF files were
transferred to my PC where they were cropped and converted into GIF
format (reducing the number of colors to 256). They look fine on my
PC. When I checked them on a color Sparcstation, they looked rather
dark, so you may want to tweak brightness, gamma etc.

Descriptions of individual pictures
-----------------------------------

(maxpony1.gif - June 89. Max, a Welsh mountain pony stallion, standing
               in his paddock at the Vet School's Netherton Farm.)

maxpony2.gif - July 91. Portrait of Max at Netherton. Dun pony in
               background is Filly, one of his favourite mares.

maxpony3.gif - June 91. Max having a roll at Netherton.

maxpony4.gif - March 91. Max chasing Crian, an Exmoor pony gelding.
               Max spent early spring with a mixed pony herd (mostly
               Shetlands) in one of the larger fields at the Vet
               School.

maxpony5.gif - June 89. After smelling something interesting on the
               ground, Max flehms mid-munch.

maxpony6.gif - June 91. Max neighing reply to a mare.

maxfoals.gif - June 92. Two foals sired by Max. Lying down is Filly's
               colt foal Tunde. Behind him is Eoi with her dam Misty.

maxfoal1.gif - May 89. Amy yawning. Amy (sire Max, dam NT) was born
               at the end of January. She has started to lose her
               lighter foal coat.

maxfoal2.gif - July 89. Filly's colt foal by Max. Here he is just two
               days old.

megfoal1.gif - July 91. Meg and her colt foal Toshki (sic). The sire
               by AI was the Dutch Warmblood Dramiro.

megfoal2.gif - August 91. Toshki stretching and yawning.

fblucky1.gif - August 91. My own horse, Lucky (15.3hh TB gelding), in
               fading evening light.  He was 6 years old in 91. He's
               just noticed me and is about to come and test my
               camera for edibility.

fblucky2.gif - June 92. Portrait of Lucky. The slight asymmetry of his
               cheek bones is a result of being kicked in the face as a
               yearling - a useful identifying feature. See how much
               lighter his face has become in a year.  When he was born,
               he was dark bay. In a few years he will be completely gray.

               at Stirling foal and youngstock show.

               Show.

fbloudon.gif - October 91. Lucky's grand-sire, TB Loudon Lad with owner
               Kersty Stowell at Gleneagles stallion show.

fbonbute.gif - May 92. Me riding Bute at the Vet Rodeo and Gymkhana. I'm
               grinning because I had just jumped a successful clear round.
               Bute (I call him "Old Boot") is a Highland pony with lots
               of character and mane.
