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!

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!

"I'm not coming up there unless you have food...."

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

Have you been doing equestrian photography long?

Borderfox

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

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

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

wombles

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

Borderfox

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

wombles

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

Form an orderly line for dinner

wombles

Perfect queue!!! Good photo:)

Borderfox

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

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

Everything looking fine


Here comes the flash, OMG!!

Borderfox

An old shot from Lepoardstown

kerrysgold

togster

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

Borderfox

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

togster

Savage!!!!!

kerrysgold

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

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

Borderfox

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

Borderfox

One of myself and Spirit (I am on the right )

wombles

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

Borderfox

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

togster

Class!

Borderfox

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

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

Borderfox

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

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

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

napoles

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

some pictures of Ispin and her 3yo filly Aamira

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

xxkarenxx

napoles

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

Bendihorse

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

napoles

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

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

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

xxkarenxx

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
