September 24 Stonegate Horse TrialThe course layout of the trial here was nice, if you were at the top of the hill near the barns you could see a good portion of the course. The morning started out not very promising at all. In fact, I was very afraid I'd be getting rained on most of the day, that's how dark and dismally gray it was. But the clouds blew out for a brief while, it got wonderfully bright and sunny and I got some great photos. Only drawback was that it was incredibly windy, so much that it actually blew my camera over when I left it unattended for a couple minutes to return to my chair during a lull in the competition. Thankfully no damage was done, I just had to clean a bit of mud off the eyepiece of the camera and some of the tripod. No serious injuries at this trial that i'm aware of. However, I did see a rider fall, it happened right at the fence I happened to be shooting photos at. Amazingly enough the rider somehow managed to hang onto her reins the whole time, which kept the horse from running off!
Unfortunately this was a split event. Half of it was run yesterday, meaning Saturday. I was not able to make it out to the earlier portion of the event so I have no pictures of Starter or Beginner Novice divisions. The photos I have are of Novice, Training and Preliminary divisions.
Seems time to probably purchase and print out contact cards I would say. I love the requests i'm getting but it's awkward to try and write down website and/or contact information when i'm trying to shoot photos at the same time. Much easier to just hand someone a card and ask to be emailed with the necessary info instead of handwriting everything. Please see previous post for contact info.
