I agree. But you gotta see the horse trotting along - they love that, those horse-whippers ;-) Actually the thing I learned very quickly (and I'm sure Brooksy will atest to this) is that the positioning of the horse's hooves is pretty crucial - they can look awkward and twisted. So you go for a shot with nicely positioned legs and hooves, and as long as the rider isn't puking up or sitting backwards, that'll do it.... > >That bit of unpleasantness aside, I think the other three are >absolutely gorgeous!!

The pics are for the girl and her friends. If I were to choose just one, it wouldn't be any of those I put on that page! best, Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________
