Usually family photos with animals look pretty cute, but sometimes the results are unexpected – as was the case, for example, with an American couple from Cincinnati, Ohio.
While Amanda Eckstein and Phil Werner were expecting a new addition to the family, they wanted to take a commemorative photo with Phil’s 10-year-old daughter from their first marriage, but the girl didn’t show up at the appointed hour, and the photographer had already arrived. So they decided to ask their horse Buckshot to pose, and that turned out to be a huge mistake. More accurately, the mistake was Amanda asking her horse to smile, because she found the first photo with Buckshot somewhat boring.
Quick-witted Buckshot immediately gave her owners an adorable smile, showing all her teeth.
She didn’t like it either, and photographer Kristen Zaffiro didn’t think it was very good, as the horse was distracting. She asked Buckshot to be more serious. It was unclear whether the horse understood their request, but the next version of the family photo also turned out very funny – the horse stuck its tongue out, as if teasing the photographer.
Buckshot was clearly amused, posing like a model.
The horse could not be calmed down any more, each subsequent photo was funnier than the previous one. Not much can be done for a family portrait of herself in a living room, but Kristen, the photographer who posted these pictures on social media, was at the zenith of fame.
People left plenty of comments underneath, but most said they were laughing their asses off.
