I recently purchased a Nikon 70-300mm VR lens (the one with the 67mm filter ring) and had a chance to take it out and use it at my daughter's riding lesson this past weekend. I haven't done any post processing on the photos yet and not sure I will spend the time on these. Overall, I was super happy with the lens and I was able to be far enough away to not disturb the lesson or her working with the horse. Lots of chickens up there on the farm as well.

Excellent pictures!
What are those ‘things’ on the hoofs in the last photo?

Thanks, Duane. Not sure what the technical name is for them, but it was snowy and icy out, so these little boots made it easier for the horse to navigate through the weather.

They look like hoof sandals.
