Photos are a great way to capture and preserve memories, whether it’s a baptism, wedding, vacation, or just a regular day. Photographers always strive to capture their subjects with a smile, regardless of their actual mood.

A photographer can easily get a great photo for their personal collection with some effort. However, if they are really fortunate, they will capture a frame that will be the talk of the town for days.

Version 1: The story of this young girl and her horse becoming famous unfolded during a regular day spent with her family.

Time Magazine reported that the photo was first shared on Reddit, creating a huge buzz. The girl was having a great time with her family in a festive atmosphere, surrounded by Clydesdale horses that seemed ready for a parade.

She may have spent a while near these magnificent animals, feeling a bit scared to approach them. After mustering up her bravery, the girl positioned herself in front of the grand stallion, anticipating the camera’s flash.

Her father’s voice came from behind the camera, urging her to smile. In that instant, the camera shutter clicked, capturing the moment forever.

The outcome was not what the father and the rest of the family had anticipated. Upon seeing the photo, the father was amazed by the beautiful scene that had been captured.

The Clydesdale breed comes from Scotland, and its members are large workhorses with a powerful character. They are also remarkably smart, as shown when this stallion smiled on cue!

This photo became extremely popular after it was shared online. It was even recognized as one of the top photos of 2016 by BuzzFeed. We are confident that the girl’s family loves this picture just as much as we do!
