looking to the left of the shot I can see the pathway lighting is low 
causing the fence to cast long shadows across the grass beyond..  I expect 
the photographer has similar lights behind a railing, behind him and it's 
doing the same thing - casting shadows across the horses,  but there also 
looks to be lights set high overhead too -  just the sorts of lights you'd 
have around a barn.
