Loving this series Don...
Your renderings of these pivotal moments are very nicely done...
Totally enjoyed this post, brought back many cherished memories of client work in the Hunter/Jumper arena for Reportage photography of the equestrian competitions in Northern Virginia "Horse Country"
Albeit I was primarily hired for editorial portraiture... Not the event competition (thankfully).
I will share that there is an epic magical bond between a 11 to 14 year old girl and her horse...
Some actually braid and add colorful bows to their horses mane and tail (which I was amazed to learn that they use special Shampoo and Conditioner to enhance Mane and Tail for "Special Events").
It's another world entire Don...
Since they where clients I had to become very familiar with all the Tradition involved.
Probably toughest assignments were when I had to capture a spirited young lady atop her lovely animal totally airborne a.k.a. all hooves off the ground in a Canter... i.e. "Pegasus

Don one thing I forgot to mention is how unique the "Cultural Mystic" within the Equestrian community/world actually is... They have a language & terminology that takes some time to master in order to communicate effective with those immersed within.
That said please realize that my clients were all 11-14 year olds comprised predominately of high spirited young girls who's skill and command of their Equestrian Endeavor is simply amazing! Should you wish to become involved with the aforementioned in your market I highly recommend that you review an excellent flick called "Moondance Alexander...
Here is a short Trailer for Moondance Alexander
This movie may indeed change the way you view the ambience latent within the Equestrian Arena, it certainly changed my entire outlook and attitude in regard to my clients "unique" world...
A young girl and her horse is a very special and wondrous thing...
btw, Moondance Alexander is actually based on a very real, poignant and heartwarming story...
Don since you've been so supportive of my photographic journey I would be more than happy to send you my copy of this epic DVD... or at least a check for $10 to cover the current pricing (including shipping) of Moondance Alexander.
Again, wishing you much joy and success on your photographic journey Don...

I truly appreciate your support Thomas. I would like to break into this field of photography and will be visiting Terra Nova for some upcoming events in the near future. Any assistance that you can render would be most helpful and appreciated. I will see if I can find a copy of this movie, I watched the trailer from your attachment and it looks quite good.
Just getting started I realized that I must learn the terminology to be effective, lots of things to master. I do have a couple of portraits that I took from my last visit to Terra Nova. Will post them in the next couple of days.
Many thanks for your continued support Thomas.
