Photography: Arnd Bronkhorst
Special Guest: Arnd Bronkhorst​
We were thrilled to announce that the highly acclaimed Dutch photographer, Arnd Bronkhorst, was our special guest at the Dutch Equine Art Fair. Through his lens, Arnd Bronkhorst explored the intriguing paradox between sports and art, showcasing the horse in roles as an athlete, companion, and more.
Equine Paradox
With years of experience immersed in the world of top-level equestrian sport, Arnd Bronkhorst created a captivating photo exhibition titled 'Equine Paradox'. The exhibition was a testament to Arnd's unique ability to showcase the contrasting elements of the equestrian world, which were often known to coexist in stark contrast.
​
On one hand, he masterfully captured the fast-paced energy and powerful emotions that defined this world, from the adrenaline-fueled thrill of triumphant moments to the sheer determination and heartbreak of competition.
On the other hand, Arnd also brought to life the serene simplicity, profound beauty, and inherent spirit of the horse in its purest form. His photographs showcased the quiet moments of connection between rider and horse, and the tranquillity that comes from simply being in their presence.

Visitors had the chance to listen first-hand as Arnd shared valuable insights about his creative process.
