We got home yesterday afternoon from taking photos at an endurance ride. Now Vince will process them all before putting them up on our website. Most will get cropped a little or centred. He will have to straighten the horizon of many of my photos as I still take photos of the horses running uphill or downhill. He will remove haze, add more or less blue, red, black, white, etc so the photo is as attractive as he can make it.
The particular Arab was very interested in his registration and also had a good look at Vince’s camera. When he was trotted out, he really ‘strutted his stuff’. He is only four years old and only just old enough to enter for endurance rides. So far, he has done four 20 kms rides and looks set for a great future.
Vince took the three photos at the registration desk and the one in the vet ring is mine.

Thank you. With some horses, it's very hard to take a bad photo.

Those are very nice photos. Is that you, giving the Arabian horse a kiss on the nose? Beautiful!

They can certainly be a bit awe-inspiring, especially if you're not familiar with them. It's amazing how big some are but they still do what they're told by sometimes really small people. Well - mostly they do what they're told! lol

At first I saw pictures here, I laugh even if I didn't read the article here. Can I check my name in your list? The horse asked. Lol.

@luisga814 When he learns that he might have to go 40 km, he might wish his name WAS wrong.

@JudyEv Yes. It should be done correctly so that he's eligible for the race. Lol.

@JudyEv They say horses are pretty smart. I guess he wanted to find out what it was all about The horse Secretariat knew what cameras were and used to pose for pictures.

@snowy22315 We had a champion racehorse like that too. There were probably several but this one seemed to bow to his adoring fans.

@JudyEv You can always tell the ones that have been exposed to a lot of stuff.

He is not only handsome but a smart four year old. He can't let them spell his name wrong. He is making sure that he doesn't move his eyes away unless each letter is correct
Nice pictures as always.

Those are great pictures. I have distant relatives who train horses. It has been their business for decades.

They all look the same to me as far as style and such. It sounds like he puts a lot of work into making them just so.

Thanks. We both take photos but Vince got the close-ups. I'm hugely jealous.
