A lucky shot at an endurance ride

Four sleeps till we move so I’m not even trying to read your discussions at the moment as I wouldn’t do justice to them. We took the caravan to a friend’s place yesterday, took photos in the vetting ring at a horse endurance ride and came across a car accident on the way home from there. Never a dull moment. Luckily no-one was badly hurt in the prang (accident) but Vince and another guy did ‘traffic control’ till the police turned up which made us a bit late home. I thought you’d like this photo from the vet ring which was just one of the lucky ones. Can you see the shadow of the handler on the body of the horse? I ended up with three like this. The sun was in just the right spot I guess.

Are you and Vince ready and looking forward to the move? (I'm always nervous before and during a move. I hate moving and would prefer never to move again.) I'm glad you two weren't involved in the accident.

Well, we're sort of ready and sort of looking forward to it but I can't help but think that we are really going to miss this place. Hopefully it will be our last move. It's not fun moving.

@JudyEv Pretty and I drove by our last house yesterday... *sigh* We keep saying we're going to make the new owner move out so we can have "our" house back again.

@DaddyEvil Once we leave here, I won't ever come back unless I can't get out of it. It's not a house where you can just drive by, thank goodness. It's pretty much out of the way.

That is a cool photo! We’ll still be here once you get moved. Moving is quite stressful, so I definitely understand.

Packing is stressful enough but the internet cuts in and out which makes it really tricky trying to reply to notifications,etc.

So did your car hit something or what? Thankfully you are safe. So for how much time would you ride the horse in the endurance ride?

We don't ride in the endurance rides but we take photos of the horses and riders and put them on a website for people to buy. We weren't involved in the accident but came along immediately after it happened.

I love this photo, the shadow is perfect and a great shot. Do not stress about reading new discussions, you will have time once you are settled up in your new home.

I'm glad you like the photo. The main problem is that the internet cuts in and out, making interacting very difficult. But once we shift it should all come good.

There was just one patch of sun so I was trying to capture the horse in that patch.

I'm feeling a bit better about it now but I'll be very sad to leave our acreage and move to such a small place. I'm sure I'll get used to it.

Thanks for the good wishes. We're moving to an over-55s lifestyle village but the miniscule spaces will take a bit of getting used to.

Great photo. How exciting that you will be moving soon. Off the subject a little, last night I had a dream that we had a horse in the kitchen. Dreams are so strange.

@JudyEv I don't know. I was upset because the horse didn't have enough room to move around. I was glad he had company though.

They took the two girls off in ambulances but they didn't seem hurt much at all. It's hard to say though if you're not a professional health worker.

I didn't notice the shadow until well after I'd taken the shot. Then I discovered a couple of others with shadows although not as stunning as the one at the top.

Not long now until the move. I didn't notice the shadow at first, but I think it does add to the picture and that feeling of motion

I missed the shadow too for a while then, when I went looking, there were a couple more with similar shadows.
