Phyllis Burchett
Photographer
Phyllis Burchett’s love of horses has guided her life’s purpose. She enjoyed a successful horse training career that earned her many World and National Championships, primarily at Appaloosa shows She also trained horses for her amateur and youth clients who went on to win multiple titles. Eventually, Phyllis moved her concentration from the show pen to the breeding barn where she managed an extensive facility that offered both stallion and mare services for a variety of horse breeds.
Upon retiring from the horse industry, Phyllis embraced her love of travel and art, becoming a photographer. After having spent a lifetime in the equine industry, Phyllis explored landscape and wildlife photography before, eventually, the horses called her back. She has since dedicated herself to telling the story of the horse in images. She has been honored to photograph horses across the globe including the magnificent white horses of the Camargue in France, the horse fisherman of Belgium, the Connemara Pony of Ireland, and repeated trips to the iconic home and visage of

Phyllis began leading other photographers to opportunities where they could also capture the beauty of horses. She has hosted many photo tours and workshops across the United States and abroad.

rooted in the rhythm of rural life. I studied Animal Science at South Dakota State University, with double minors in Equine Studies and Agriculture Business fields that reflect my deep connection to the land, animals, and the hardworking spirit of the Midwest.
Photography has long been a passion of mine, but it wasn’t until a workshop in 2019 with Chris Dickinson that the spark turned into a fire. That experience led to the creation of Open Spaces Photography, a brand that reflects my love for wide horizons, honest moments, and the beauty found in everyday life
Today, I live just outside Rapid City, South Dakota, surrounded by the majestic Black Hills and the rugged beauty of the Badlands. I travel across the Midwest capturing stories through my lens authentic, timeless, and full of soul
When I’m not on the road or behind the camera, you can find me at home with my
