Damian de Castro & Venus  

Behind big photo projects there is always an entire organization, models, makeup, photographer, etc...

But I owe the realization of my project "Venus Wild Bride" to a very particular duo to whom I would like to draw your attention... It was a first for me on a shoot but also for them both and I am happy that They enjoyed this day as much as I did.🥰

Here is

Damian De Castro & his incredible mare Venus.

Know that it was more than just a shooting but a real performance!

Venus is a mare reformed from trotting races, where you should know that the environment is very hard for horses... She was picked up by Damian when she was 5 years old who began a long process of regaining confidence with humans, a mental and physical fitness. These traumas are gradually erased, allowing them to gradually get closer to “classic” horse riding.
They have been forming this duo for 5 years, during which there was a lot of work on foot (a necessity at the start then a pleasure) which led them little by little to tackle "show" figures. Today they have found their true passion there and are flourishing in this path, Cossack aerobatics, dressage, work on foot and also performances accompanied by fire!

Venus is a little trotter who has come a long way and who has managed to establish herself in the middle of a field usually very dominated by Iberian horses.

So I only have one word to say,
CONGRATULATIONS to both of you!
