Hey there, Horse Photographers! I recently had an absolute blast chatting with Kim Beer and Cara Taylor Swift on the Cowgirls with Cameras podcast, and I’m thrilled to share it with you! 🎙️🐴
We dove into one of our favorite subjects—posing horses and their humans—and it was as fun as it sounds.
Cara and I recently co-authored a book on this very topic, and let me tell you, we poured our hearts into Equine & Equestrian Photography Poses that Sell.
Between the late nights, stress-eating way too much dark chocolate, and plenty of brainstorming, we crafted something we’re incredibly proud of.
And now, we’re answering questions about posing horses and their humans on the podcast!

Betsy Bird, M.Photog.Cr., CPP, TPM, TSD, of Ride the Sky Equine Photography, spends her days doing insane things to make animals look at her. Clearly, she’s desperate for attention. When she’s not mentoring photographers, wrangling teenagers, or acting like a total goofball, she’s hanging with Derby—the puppy currently training to be office assistant (jury’s still out on whether “chewing cords” counts as a legitimate job skill).
Betsy has earned both her Master of Photography and Photographic Craftsman degrees from the Professional Photographers of America (PPA). She also holds the CPP, TPM, and TSD designations and currently serves on the Board of Directors of both the Professional Photographers of East Tennessee (PPETN) and the Tennessee Professional Photographers Assocation (TNPPA).
An award-winning photographer, Betsy is also a published author, national presenter, and frequent podcast guest. Her book, Equine & Equestrian Photography Poses that Sell, has become a resource for photographers, and she’s been featured on The Profitable Photographer Podcast, The Business Animal Podcast, Cowgirls with Cameras Podcast, The Focal Points Podcast, and more.
Through her digital tools, courses, and mentoring programs, Betsy teaches photographers how to build profitable businesses without the overwhelm. She is an expert in her field (which isn’t that surprising given how much time she actually spends outstanding in a field… get it?).
