Terri Cage Photography | Facebook: Best of 2014 | Equine Photographer

I try to post daily to Facebook  and the following images where some of the most popular in 2014.  They where determined from some of the Facebook statistics, likes, comments and shares.  Many of the ones that did well were shared on the Equine Photographers Network's  Facebook page and with close to quarter million followers, that is a lot of exposure.  Facebook is a constant challenge for business page's post to show up on followers feeds and I did notice a large decrease in the statistics from the beginning of 2014 to the end.  Even though I doubles the number of followers in 2014, many post where hidden within everyone's newsfeed.   

Some of the popular images where actually photos taken in earlier year, but I either thought it deserved re-posteding or discover a photo I never have posted or it was for someone's Happy Birthday post.

If you ask me to pick a favorite, I obviously have to pick one of my family, 4 and 2 legged. Usually when someone ask what is my favorite photo, my answer is from my most used quote by Imogen Cunningham; "Which of my photographs is my favorite? The one I am going to take tomorrow “ 

A Chip of Sudden won High Point Western Horse at the 2014 Appaloosa World SHow
