I am a senior in high school and lately, I have been interested in photography, particularly equine(horse) photography. I've got a Nikon D40, a telephoto lens, and another basic lens(not sure exactly what it is I'll have to go check). This last year I took a photography/journalism class, so i understand the basics of composition, photoshop, RAW,ect. Will a Nikon D40 work for horse photography? I'm picky when it comes to the quality of my photos.

I've been riding horses for 8 years, so I understand the behavior, but are there certain things I should keep in mind when shooting horses? I am also looking for some unique and stnning photograph and pose ideas(both for the horse alone and with a person). I've been playing around with some photos, but I haven't found anything I absolutely love yet.
 
It is an excellent camera for just that.

All you need to consider is the lighting while you are shooting and assuring you are shooting the camera at high shutter speeds. Using your telephoto lens will capture good tight shots of your horses and pony's as they go through their workouts.

You will need to practice shooting at the peak of action, using panning techniques and other tools used by sports and action photographers
