This series was captured on Sunday, September 2, 2018 during the lead up to the Registered Mares – 4 Horse Hitch (Class: 1502) of the Draft category.
I used a Canon EOS-1ds Mark III body with the Canon Lens EF 70 – 300 IS USM lens, Hoya UV filter. No flash.
Standing outside the stadium, in the bright sun, the teams road to the stadium from the barn.

There was a long wait for the second team that allowed me some fantastic closeups.



These are inside the stadium, from the bleachers.

Thanks, M.B., for the compliment. I had a comment the horses look like they are prisoners. Don’t know how to answer that one.

We tried a different approach to parking…there was a park and ride lot serviced by the city bus system. It worked well for us.

Wow this is incredible, Michael! Thank you for sharing these photos. I’ve loved horses ever since I was a little kid. That last one particularly moved me – the legs in motion is so good.
Nice to connect with you. Hope you are well. 🙂
Blessings,
Debbie
