Great set of images!!
Can't say much for the horsemanship, "Grabbing leather" used to get you disqualified.
Which is why I could never enter cutting comps.

I am curious as to what equipment you used to take these shots.

Thanks, Doug. I use a Nikon D800 and am still happy with results. Camera is getting long in the tooth but I don't have very many images on it for an 11 year old camera. Numbers 1 and 2 were shot with a Nikkor 80-200 2.8AFS lens. Exposure was 1/800th, 2.8, ISO 3200. I try not to use too high an ISO with the D800. Gets kind of noisy. If I do upgrade the camera, this would be one of the main reasons to do so. Numbers 3 and 4 were shot with a manual focus Nikkor 300 2.8, both at ISO 3200, 1/800th, #3 shutter speed 1/1000th, #4 1/800th. I don't use that lens much anymore. Still love the images it produces but it's hard for me to handhold now that I'm 77. Also, I've gotten used to autofocus. I acquired the lens in 1985 and it's in marvelous condition. Hard for me to part with it. (But will for the right price.)
