Barrel Racing [Striving]
Uploaded: June 18, 2012 17:49:46
There is a lot of training and communication between horse and rider in barrel racing.
I loved the way the rider's hair flew like the horse's tail in this capture. They seemed to fly as one.

Beautiful horse, Heather, and I agree about the synchronized flying hair. #10187621Debbie Bray June 19, 2012
Another beauty shot, Heather! I know the difficulty trying to capture these shots, my next door neighbours do barrel racing at the back of our property. I've tried on numerous occasions to capture a good one! #10187759frank w. degenhardt June 19, 2012
You are so right my friend. That is amazing action freeze framed. They do flow as one, each knowing what part they play. Again the action is incredible, your picture shows off every muscle of the horse, the move of the rider. I am so amazed at the sharpness of the picture, how the colors are so vivid, how the picture is even more detailed than when we see it with out own eyes.
