Heres to fall

Barn tales
[caption id="attachment_1630" align="alignleft" width="300"] Michelle and Jezebel[/caption] The leaves are changing big time around here. The colors are rich, warm and glowing. I better enjoy it while i can because soon enough the leaves will all drop off the tress and the cold will set in and winter will be upon me. Winter my least favorite of all seasons. I grew up and lived most my life in southern California where winter meant a light sweater and 65 degrees. So you had to put the heat on with the top down on your car. I had never ridden in an indoor until i moved to MD where an indoor in winter is a really nice thing to have. Thankfully this winter i have one, last i did not. So heres…

In the Equiery

Barn tales
[caption id="attachment_1469" align="alignleft" width="255"] Published![/caption] I have a couple of photos in this months Equiery. The Equiery is the local horse paper in MD (and some parts of PA and VA) but its Maryland based. If you are looking for horse support services like boarding, hay, training or ring building its the go to place. They also keep you up to date on local horse laws and zoning changes. Its a really good resource and the paper is free at tack stores and feed stores around MD. Their actual offices are just a couple miles from where the ponies are kept. I've submitted a couple of photos from a couple of different events i've shot in the last month or so and they've used pictures from both events. The Thoroughbred…

Moon gets miles

Off Farm, OTTB
[caption id="attachment_1418" align="alignleft" width="200"] Just chillin' pre-class[/caption] It was that time again, The Maryland Open Horse Show. They do these nice low key schooling shows about once a month and i've been shooting them.  They are held at Schooley Mill horse park which is the ring i used when i boarded the girls across the street. The only thing i miss about that place is the ring. My horses however don't miss a thing about it, they hated the ring. Too over whelming for my sensitive OTTB mares. This time up it was Michelle's turn to take her horse Moon and put some show miles on him. Shes taken him before but the last time he was rather jumpy and nervous. This time however he was great. She keeps him…

Shooting at the MOHS

Off Farm
[caption id="attachment_1377" align="alignleft" width="300"] Lookin' for the next jump[/caption] I went to the Maryland Open Horse Show. Not to ride but to cheer on E and her pony Austin. E also works with Michelle and since Michelle had to be out of town i was the stand in. I also went to shoot the show and pass out some of my cards (always hustling yo). I wasn't the official photographer they had one of those but i tried to get a good sampling of the riders. Its a nice little schooling show and i'm familiar with the ring so I know the good angles. E did great and came home in the ribbons. Though experience was the goal, the ribbons will help boost her confidence. I was really impressed with…
