    Wow! Dig it!
    Indoors, too -- you must have had lousy light.
    I feel nothing for horses, but this works well, IMHO, because you can see both horse and rider's faces striving toward the same goal.

    The goal of my photography is is the effective, original communication of a feeling expressing truth, beauty, or love.

    Beautifully captured - horse and rider both in excellent focus, whilst background being out of focus adds to the action of the photo.
    Good lighting, especially as being indoors expect lighting was not great. Lighting great into both the riders and horses face. Only downside is the light behind the horses ears.

    This is a great shot. The light indoors at equestrian events is never good but the slow shutter has really worked well allowing more ambient in. Great shot!

    I'm here to learn so please feel free to give me constructive criticism to help me become the photographer I desire to be.

    Nice shot well executed in what is notoriously poor lighting. The only nitpik would be if you waited just a fraction of a second longer, you would have caught the horse basculing (peak of rounding) over the jump with his hind feet off the ground too.
    Creating visual and verbal images that resonate with you.
