xxkarenxx · 16-03-2008 7:44pm

Ah thats what he wants you to believe!!:D

Hi Borderfox,

Fantastic photos.
What camera do you use and how much would it cost to get started?

Borderfox · 18-03-2008 11:32am

I use a Canon 1dmk3 and a Canon 5d with a variety of lenses from 17mm to 300mm. You can use any camera to get nice shots of Horses, I started with a 5 mega pixel one from Argos (below) You can really spend a lot to get started but if you get a cheapish camera and try it out and see if you like it

hi guys

Great to see an equestrain forum.. well i'm 21 and have been riding all my life hda many horses in my day competed a bit and hunted but dur to unforseen circumstances had to sell the horses that was about 2 years ago and havent even sat on a horse since but am looking now to start riding again so has anyone any advice about where to go for hacking or lessons or just somewhere to go in kildare for a good gallop? horses have gotten into my blood so i'm going insane without horse riding any advice welcomed

thanks

napoles · 10-04-2008 9:33am

Found two piccies (where you can't really see me - cos I'm shy!!:)), so said I'd bang them up.

Bendihorse · 10-04-2008 9:45am

Wow napoles, lovely horses! Are they yours? If so tell us a bit about them

napoles · 10-04-2008 9:53am

The grey was mine for four years until this year when I sold him,

cos he wasn't getting enough to do as there wasn't enough dressage at his level down here and I have enough young ones to keep me busy. Mind you, he's dearly loved in his new home too so I'm happy.
The bay was for an owner. I showed him and competed him in the Future Event Horse league. Lovely boy.
I have loads more pics of different horses - but I don't really want to put up any where you can see me!! Hopefully I'll get a few nice ones of this year's youngsters soon.

Alibear · 15-04-2008 11:42pm

Here are a few photos of my horse and I -

Some of them are stills from videos hence the poor quality... And I know I have a cr*p position!

napoles · 16-04-2008 1:34pm

One of my four year olds at his first ever event this weekend..

RozzBurrows · 17-04-2008 10:33am

I worked for Kevin Babington in Pennsylvania las summer and snapped a few pics of him.

Irish international showjumper for those who dont know who he is. He rode Carling King before he retired him last year
This is his 6 year old Hoslteiner stallion Life Star

Gorgeous looking horse napoles! Is he a stallion?

napoles · 17-04-2008 2:13pm

No, but he'd like to think he is!! He's my 15.2hh pocket rocket!!

togster · 17-04-2008 3:04pm

How did he do napoles?

napoles · 17-04-2008 3:12pm

Sh*te!!

Good dressage, but got eliminated in the showjumping for starting before bell

(he jumped a good round though!) and then had two babyish stops on the cross-country. Not too worried though as it was just greeness - jumped them no probs on a second look and he's still learning. Hopefully next Sunday will be better!

togster · 18-04-2008 9:42am

Minor details! Best of luck

napoles · 18-04-2008 9:49am

Thanks! Fingers crossed they'll pop round their respective courses ok. Am not expecting too much though - they're only babies so will take them easy.

Borderfox · 24-04-2008 6:07pm

wombles · 01-05-2008 12:13am

Brilliant photos as usual Borderfox. Dont you just love watching the kids and ponies. makes you sorry you have otgrown them

Morafic · 09-05-2008 1:57pm

I just love the photos, especially the show jumping ones and those of the kids and their ponies having a blast!:) Brings back memories of when I was very much younger & braver!

Sadly I haven't yet mastered the complex and difficult art of taking photos whilst riding so can only take pictures of my lot when they are out in the field:(

Borderfox · 12-05-2008 12:03am

Super looking Horse Morafic, heres some from Badminton

Morafic · 13-05-2008 1:39am

He's gorgeous! I didn't realise horses go grey in patches like that- I thought they just started getting white hairs throughout their coat until they get lighter and lighter?

What colour would you register him as?
I have often wondered what would happen if a horse is stolen while he is still dark and they're not freezemarked or chipped. As in, identifying them later on if you find them.
