Side Saddle Precision Riding

Description

In this close up capture of the side saddle rider galloping past me you can see the configuration of the saddle they use. Everything is strictly regulated including the petticoats, boots, spurs,hats etc. I had to pan to get this capture of her moving fast. Tomorrow we have to wash all the arena signs we will hang. So far before expenses we have gotten about $44,000. I think this is going to be our best year yet.

I hope it will be your best year Emile. Love how you were able to pan out and get this beautiful picture of horse and rider. What I find fascinating is that when I focus on the horse, one can see the speed it is running at and yet the details are so sharp and clear. Beautiful looking with gorgeous colors and action Emile. #11320513
