    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 :D

    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.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 69 ✭✭wombles


    Have you been doing equestrian photography long?


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 10,256 Mod ✭✭✭✭Borderfox


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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 69 ✭✭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?


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 10,256 Mod ✭✭✭✭Borderfox


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

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


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 10,256 Mod ✭✭✭✭Borderfox


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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 69 ✭✭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.

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