24-Hour Photo Challenge: 22 Airborne Horses

Ever heard the phrase “horses fly without wings”? These reader-submitted horses are taking that phrase quite literally.

For this week’s photo challenge, we asked to see your horses in “flight”, a photograph capturing all four feet off the ground (or pretty close). As usual, you guys responded: here are 22 reader-submitted horses who just can’t keep four on the floor.

Sienna Hawk: My handsome Mustang, Dublin. Photo by the wonderful Jessica Pease!
