It’s the time of year when everyone waxes poetic about what makes them thankful. JJ Sillman, photographer extraordinaire and member of the Central Kentucky Riding for Hope rescue takes a minute to recount how lucky she is to work for the rescue:
“After a two hour trail ride around the Kentucky Horse Park pretending that I was a 4* rider on my trusty Paso Fino…. I have to say again how thankful I am for all of my amazing coworkers, multiple bosses, sweet clients, and all of the fabulous horses I get to work with and learn from at my job. I am so lucky.”
Thank you for giving back to the horses, JJ! I think all of EN will join me in saying we are thankful for your selfless hours of taking stunning photos at events as well!
