Thanks for the feedback Frank. When i was reviewing the shots,as soon as i came to this one,i knew it was a keeper,in my mind anyway.<g>and felt like sharing.
Believe it or not she was almost in panic mode,but she hides it well. The horse was a complete arse in warm up and she was just hoping it would just get in the ring..lol As for the shack,i quess i was looking at the tree more,and did not notice it.Good thing you did.Again back ground is an issue at these things,but this is more of a park,so i do get some nice ones now and then. I;ll pass the looks comment n.:-) BTW she placed in all 4 classes,so she was very happy.
