Black & white
Black and white horse prints
Horses were made for monochrome. Without colour, a coat becomes texture, a backlit mane becomes a line of light, and a piebald's markings turn into pure graphic shape — which is why so many equine prints hanging in Irish homes are black and white.
These are the horse photographs from the collection that carry best without colour: an eye up close, a Clydesdale's muzzle, a mare with her foal, a herd on a ridge as the light goes. Several of them live at Forever Home Sanctuary; some are permanent residents and others are only passing through.
Any of these can be printed in black and white at no extra cost — say "black and white" in the order notes and the conversion is done by hand for that specific image, then proofed before it ships. Sizes run 5×5″ (€10) to 16×24″ (€50), oak framing €15 more, prices exclude postage.

- How much does framing cost?
- Framing adds €15 to any size. Frames are solid oak with a natural finish, museum-grade glass and an acid-free mount.
- What paper are the prints made on?
- Every print is made on high-quality archival paper, and signed on the reverse by the photographer.
- Do you ship outside Ireland?
- Yes. Prints ship from Ireland to the United Kingdom, mainland Europe and the United States, as well as within Ireland. Postage is calculated at checkout based on size, framing and destination.
- Is postage included in the price?
- No. All prices exclude postage. The exact postage cost is shown at checkout before you pay, so there is nothing added afterwards.
- What currency are prices in?
- All prices are in euro (EUR). Cards issued outside the eurozone are charged the equivalent amount by your bank at their exchange rate.
- Do print sales support the animal sanctuary?
- Yes. Many of the animals photographed live at Forever Home Sanctuary, a small animal sanctuary, and a share of every print sale goes back into their care.
- Can I order a print in black and white?
- Yes, and it costs no extra. Order the print you want and mention black and white in the order notes or through the contact page — the conversion is done by hand for that image, not by an automatic filter.
- Can I commission a photograph of my own animal?
- Yes — commissions for dogs, horses and other animals are open. Get in touch through the contact page with what you have in mind and roughly where you are based.
