Pegasus Workshop

Making Pegasus is the life legacy project of Greg Davis; "A quest to bring to life the Ultimate Horse Pegasus by cross breeding the best horses in the world wherever they may be."  

We will photograph many of the beautiful horses at the Davis Ranch ~ breeds such as: Gypsy, Andalusian, Arabian, Friesian, Thoroughbred, Shire, Holsteiner, Clydesdale, Percheron, Warmblood, and American Saddlebred.

In addition, we're adding a night sky photography session because this workshop is in a remote Coastal California Valley where light pollution is reduced and we have an historic California Mission as a backdrop!

Lockwood, California

Lockwood is just inland from the beautiful Central Coast of San Simeon (home of the popular and historic Hearst Castle), Ragged Point, Gorda, and Big Sur, in the south central region of Monterey County.  Lockwood is most easily accessed from HWY 101 between Paso Robles and King City, but can also be reached through an adventurous back road off scenic HWY 1.

 

April 10-13, 2023 - Postponed due to Lori undergoing cancer treatment through June 2023.  Will be rescheduled after that.
