Jockeying for position to be best-in-show, it was up to award winning advertising photographer Julian Wolkenstein to keep the supermodels of the equine world in check.
'The idea for these images came from a discussion with a friend who said, 'Hey wouldn't it be fun to shoot horses with big hair?',' says Sydney-born Julian, 36.
Putting the project into motion, Julian teamed up with prominent hair-stylist Acacio da Silva to whip the horses into shape.
'Each horse took around four hours to groom, with hair extensions being added by Acacio, and then when they were presented in front of the camera's and lights they would shake their heads, give a neigh and then ruffle up their hair,' said Julian.
Just for fun: Misty the horse actually appears to be giving the camera a flirtatious grin as she enjoys her new flowing curls
