I went out this morning to catch a cup of Joe at Starbuck's and swung by the local equestrian center which is always good for a shot or two.

    thumb.gif The second one's really nice. Perfect action, her body language and face are great.

    Kent,

    I agree with Sid. They are both nice, but that second one is very appealing thumb.gifthumb.gif Plus, it's so tough to get the faces exposed well with those darn helmet brims shading them eek7.gif Nice job clap.gif

    I'm kind of wondering why you named this thread the way you did? I really thought I was going to see people in orange hats and plaid jackets hunting.....Laughing.gif What a relief to find beautiful horse pics here instead....lol

    Thanks for sharing,

    Well, first of all, I know next to nothing about equestrian events, except that there always seem to be horses involved . . . .

    According to the PA announcer, the class of competition that these two horses and riders were part of is referred to as "Hunters". Perhaps because the jumping skills are the same as those to engage in fox hunts.

    That's my story and I'm sticking with it.

    i really like you pictures, the second one has really good position, im sure she'd love the shot too.:D

    Hunters are an equestrian event, that i do. it is jumping rounds, but it is not timed like show jumping is. hunters are judged by a judge, on position, steady pace, attitude, rythm, and overall look. lol the fox hunting thing might actually be what its based on, i dont know, that a good explination though.

    good shots
