    enjoyed them,
    I've never watched an event like this before. How neat to see those huge animals jumping, and their front legs curled. You captured them wonderfully!

    Tessa

    I particularly like this one...

    Love to dream, and dream in color.

    That last ones isnt too tight, but the horses at these levels dont really "jump well" lots of hanging legs and twisting. but making over the obstacle is whats important, there a no penalties for form. the photog can only capture what is there. so good job on your part.

    That sounds cool...good luck. I'm not a horse guy, but I think you did pretty good. I did find myself wishing I could see more of the obstacle in a few of them though.
    Always lurking, sometimes participating. :D
