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.

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

@Ronrybs I know what to expect with most farm stock but I am very wary of camels, etc, that I have no experience of. But I have a healthy respect for all animals.

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

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.

Some of endurance riders have been riding for years too and have done thousands of kilometres in competition and probably at least twice as much in training.
