Jump Judging

  Today, I was out jump judging lower level cross country. There were some gorgeous horses and fantastic riders. Lots of bays, blacks, and a handful of dapple greys! A few appys and greys, but the bays and blacks had the ring!

  I took lots of pictures! I can't show you them all, but I can show you some of my favourite!!
Riders had a choice of a ditch or a jump. The majority took the ditch, but a few brave souls took the jump (and those brought out some good photos).
 

This horse was very good looking

   We almost had a refusal here...

 

But alas, the horse jumped.

Pretty in pink!

No, he's not having a hissy fit XD

Up 'n' Over

   I loved this pair. The horse was gorgeous and the rider handled her beautifully.

  This boy here, he was GIANT! And has quite the stride, not to mention was absolutely beautiful!

Wee!!

   And here we have our long awaited non-bay horse.

 

 

  I had a great time looking at these horses. Half way through it started raining, resulting in bad footing. No horse went down, only a few riders. This was an Entry Level class, but I also judged Pre-Training. I only got one photo, since it rained mostly the whole time.

 

 

This horse was also rather pretty and very stocky!!

  I hope to go to another event soon! I really want to work on my photography. I know I needed a much faster shutter speed, these photos have just the slightest blur. Anyway, I know for next time! ANd if anyone has any tips (photography wise), please comment!!
