Fitz mentioned in my other post that she loves seeing photos, i know i do too so i said i would post these few that i took of Mandi at a training show in castlebar from last sunday, her first show of this year. She went clear in the 80cm and had one down in the 90cm. Hopefully this is going to be a great year for her!

a few of the guys over in the photography forum recently took some picks of horses.maybe ye want to post a thread there and ask them for a few photos.

Hey guys, newbie to the equestrian forum but have been riding a while, spotted this thread and had a few additions if ye don't mind

Photos are from my time in a finca ("ranch") in Spain, Los Cerrillares. They have some better ones on their website, but thought I'd better not take credit for their photos!

Thanks Wombles, my own horse in on the cover of Irelands Equestrian this month so the fame has gone to his head and now he really does think he is a stallion

Welcome to the forum Wombles

Borderfox - you have some amazing photographs and a real talent.

wombles · 04-02-2008 11:13pm

Have you been doing equestrian photography long?

Borderfox · 04-02-2008 11:22pm

About 1 and a half years now, full time pro since September. Thanks zaraba. Some of my credit goes to Spirit as he was my inspiration to start taking pictures and full of character.

wombles · 04-02-2008 11:38pm

I am always trying to get good shots of horses but they are never like yours! Is that Spirit as the front page star?

Borderfox · 05-02-2008 12:29am

Yeah thats him, I took that before a small show. He was all groomed and looking pretty

wombles · 05-02-2008 12:56am

Oh he is lovely! What height is he, and what do you mainly do with him?

Borderfox · 05-02-2008 1:07am

He is 15'2 hands high and half Connemara, just mainly leisure riding with some jumping. What about your horse Wombles?

wombles · 05-02-2008 1:46am

I have a 15.1 bay gelding. He is a French bred of unknown parentage! A friend bought him in France and when he came back I fell in love with him. He is only 5 and hasn't done much yet. I would say his is a pony cross as he has a real pony head.

Borderfox · 19-02-2008 12:54am

Form an orderly line for dinner

wombles · 19-02-2008 5:11pm

Perfect queue!!! Good photo:)

Borderfox · 28-02-2008 4:56pm

A few shots from yesterday of a friends horse called Rogue. Fantastic Horse and a real people Horse, loves nothing more than some company and a good groom...

Looks good enough

Ahh thats better

Thats the spot

Getting dizzy

Where am I?

Borderfox · 28-02-2008 5:02pm

Went up to the Laytown races last year just to have a look around and see what the races are like, great day and some excellent racing. Enjoy the shots

Borderfox · 28-02-2008 5:04pm

Everything looking fine

Here comes the flash, OMG!!

Borderfox · 28-02-2008 5:10pm

An old shot from Lepoardstown

kerrysgold · 28-02-2008 5:42pm

lol! what a face to pull!

togster · 28-02-2008 5:48pm

Brilliant!!!!!:D:D:D

Borderfox · 28-02-2008 5:49pm

TBH I was yawning around him and then he started too and I got a shot of him. Its not too flattering though

togster · 28-02-2008 5:50pm

Savage!!!!!

kerrysgold · 28-02-2008 7:16pm

Great action pictures!
It's funny, in the last pic the horse look's like he has a little mini leg and hoof growing out of his knee lol.

wombles · 28-02-2008 11:13pm

brilliant photos!! Really love the last one though colours in first one are fab.

Borderfox · 29-02-2008 11:53pm

Thanks the detail on the last racing on from Lepoardstown if fantastic. Superb day out there and my favourite racetrack to work at.

Borderfox · 08-03-2008 2:45pm

One of myself and Spirit (I am on the right

)

wombles · 08-03-2008 7:23pm

He looks like the Cheshire Cat there with no body!!! Great shot.

Borderfox · 08-03-2008 8:56pm

When I use that lens camera combination it exaggarates all proportions, makes them look like their faces are really long

Thanks Wombles

togster · 10-03-2008 9:45am

Class!

Borderfox · 10-03-2008 1:24pm

Heres a couple from the Side Saddle class in last years RDS (07) Hope you like and if anybody has any requests feel free to let me know and I will do my best to find them

togster · 10-03-2008 1:35pm

jesus look at the bay in the 2nd photo!! Gorgeous

Borderfox do you have any eventing/cross-country ones??

Borderfox · 10-03-2008 1:41pm

I have shots from Tattersalls 3 day 06 and 07 and probably a handfull from Curragha last year (I think) If you have any names from Tatts I would gladly put them up

Borderfox · 10-03-2008 1:58pm

napoles · 10-03-2008 6:29pm

Aw!! Bummer!! I can't view your RDS side-saddle pics for some reason Borderfox. Oh actually, they're working now!
That was the class before mine - the Middleweights. Don't suppose you got the Lightweights or the championship by any chance??? A big chestnut mare with a white blaze. Sorry, I am a pain!

Borderfox · 12-03-2008 11:13am

Hi Napoles I didnt get anything from the side saddle classes before this one sorry

napoles · 12-03-2008 11:24am

No worries! I got a few from my classes last year anyway, but I really love your shots, so was just hoping!!

I haven't posted any of my own pics here though, cos I'm shy!

xxkarenxx · 12-03-2008 5:31pm

some pictures of Ispin and her 3yo filly Aamira

Dont know what i've done here but photos disappeared!!

xxkarenxx · 12-03-2008 5:33pm

and this one is just rather amusing!!!

napoles · 12-03-2008 5:42pm

Ha ha! Excellent pics Karen. Your eventer looks gorgeous. What's the breeding?

Bendihorse · 12-03-2008 5:45pm

Scary moment there karen! The mare is stunning

Thanks!! She's half mad though and slightly demented this week after hunter trials at the weekend!! She's by Paris Lights ex Glantine Lady.

Ha my sister loves that photo. What not to do when jumping out of water!!

napoles · 12-03-2008 5:54pm

Yay another by a Selle Francais! I've had a few Quiletto's and I love them!
I love the show-jumping pic of her - talk about picking up!
What's her show name - or is that too nosy a question? Just ignore me if so!

xxkarenxx · 12-03-2008 6:05pm

Ha Ha thats ok!! She does pick up but sometimes gets her into trouble-she seems to have taken the flamboyant approach to life!!

napoles · 12-03-2008 6:11pm

Better than a half hearted approach!! She's really lovely.

xxkarenxx · 12-03-2008 6:17pm

Yeah I suppose it is! Big turn around for her cos when she started out she was not impressed with x country at all. Went schooling and took 20 mins to get her on a bank and then another 40 to get her off it!! And as for water.........

Wow, you must have really won your girl over!!!
I think you get that cautiousness with mares though. Geldings generally seem that bit more cocky. Mind you, when a mare trusts you, I think they'll try their heart out for you!

Well it's certainly true for this mare she had a big turn around she's unstoppable cross country-now its her dressage thats the problem!!!

xxkarenxx · 13-03-2008 6:34pm

same pictures again, I seem to have deleted them from the other post. ooops!!
