Horsey business

[Phoenix]

It's been back to work for me and I find time very short.
Horses and young riders were at a local beach and I had the chance to take a few snaps. Sun was pretty harsh even though it was early.
Getting the horse and trainer looking at the camera at the same time was impossible!

These are terrific photos Jo great colours and detail. They are so good I won't NAG about the horizon

[Phoenix]

:-P How did I miss that horizon? Thanks Isac.

Different girls.. who's the mare and who's the filly?

There were three girls and the overseer Greg. Wouldn't have been an interesting shot from underwater.

Great photos Jo. #2 is awesome, shows the majesty and power of the horse and I like how the trainer is looking at it in this shot.

Thanks for those kind words PP. Much appreciated.

With the second image I think it is stronger for not having the trainer looking at the camera as it keeps the focus exactly where it should be, at the horse. Beautiful image.

Thanks Kind Sir, must remember horse more important than girls. :-) Like it.

Totally agree agree. We often get horses at Aldinga beach

Would love to get back down early enough to get the horses exercising in the early light. Sadly I will have to wait until next holidays.
