CORAL LINK / PHOTOGRAPHER

 

Coral Link was born and raised in Spanaway Washington. An avid horsewoman, she has been showing and training her own horses since the age of 14. She started showing stock horses in 4-h and eventually her parents purchased her her first Half Arabian Mare "Tazzy", who was shown successfully to many class A wins in Western Pleasure and Trail. Together  they won the 2010 Region V Reserve Championship in HA Trail Horse ATR. Coral also showed a purebred Gelding named Elijah X to a Regional Reserve Championship in Purebred Arabian Hunter Pleasure Select AAOTR as well as a Region V Top 5 in HA Hunter Pleasure Select AAOTR in 2011 on Fires Harley AA whom she later sold. After Tazzy passed away in 2012, Coral was able to purchase a 2012 Colt by the late, great, DA Valentino. This young colt has already garnered two Region V Top 5's in the Yearling Arabian Sweepstakes Colts and also the Yearling Breeding Colts. Victor Valentino (pictured left) is a very special colt with incredible breeding.

 

"Horses have always been my passion. I was so lucky to have parents that understood this passion and knew it was not just a phase. I am so blessed to have been able to own some amazing horses. After losing my mare in 2012, I was not sure if I wanted to purchase another but "Victor" just happened to fall into my lap! He is by DA Valentino and out of a Marwan Al Shaqab daughter. He is an exciting young colt and will be a fantastic western pleasure horse."

 

"My love for photography really stemmed from my mothers horrible photography skills when I was younger. She openly admits that. I always longed for beautiful, professional photos of me and my horses but we could not afford them. I am self taught in every aspect of photography. And have learned from trial and error. I made my passion into a career in 2008 and have never looked back! I am excited for every single photoshoot and love creating many different types of images."
