It's one of the top ones in the world, has a lot of the Saudi horses and rich owners to please though. A lot of the young horses are sent to Dubai to over winter and be trained up, my daughter spent a year there doing that. Horses are sent to run in America, Australia and throughout Europe, he has millions of pounds in prize money. Tempted to come over?

You wouldn't muck out, they've got people for that lol it's just riding out! They even have people working at night because the horses also get fed during the night as well.

Racehorse photography is popular, owners love having pics of their horses.

Tez, I love how the light is reflecting off the horse's coat in #3. It highlights not only how well the horse is cared for, but also their stunning musculature

Horses lol! Normal thing when a horse runs off with you aim it at a wall etc, these horses will run straight into wall, honestly!

We had one guy in the area back home, he had built a jump in front of a wall....special case that one was tho.....

(the horses just got the bay sillies.... )

 

[Tez3]

Not always pleasant though!

This is Kate and Always Brave

The tongue again!

 

[granfire]

It's a racer, tongue doesn't matter!

Riding in the snow can be fun (as I remember, from over 20 years ago...the few days that I had to bother with it...)

I was about to line myself a shoot up at a rodeo, but somehow my in has turned loon....
The guy works with my husband and started something that blew up in his face and he got a in a snit over it....not to mention he is one of those people who does not listen to Motown on principle.... the N****** music, you know.....
but good grief...hating Motown is like hating music!

keeping this on topic:
A lady on that horse forum had this question:

I have recently been told by an administrator of a facility that has horses, that if I want to sell any photos taken at that public venue (you have to pay to get in, but it's owned by a government agency), that I need written permission from the administration. This is a tourist attraction in Canada. Any insights?

and since we are linking horse pictures for Bob:

You are looking so bold and beautiful. I must say that i did not watch your horse at all because i can't take my eyes away from your face you beautiful lady.

The second shot captures a moment very well! Looks like the lighting is an issue out there. If she was inexperienced so action shots weren't viable, these were good choices. Maybe a close-up with just their heads, her leaning in?
