RE: [IceHorses] Saddle rack - Skjoni
>>> I love seeing this type of photo, not only because of freeze framing the footfall but also it freeze frames the rider. Is it tricky to put photos up onto the site you did? I am a bit of a computer OANTKB (on a need to know basis) and have never done it but have some interesting photos that you can see what happens to the horse when the rider is just slightly out of neutral. It's actually very easy. I use Google's free photo-organizer/editing software, Picassa on my local PC. Picassa is free, full of good features and easy. With Picassa, I simply select the pics I want to upload, and click on the "Order Prints" button. I can then pick from one of the Photo-sharing sites. I usually use Kodak Gallery, but there are many others, like SnapFish. Kodak Gallery doesn't charge anything to store the pics, but they do send me e-mails all along, encouraging me to buy prints or T-shirts. (And I do buy a few sometimes.) You can also upload pictures straight from www.kodakgallery.com but since I've used Picassa to get the photos from the camera anyway, I'm already there, just one click away. Once the pics are on the site, they give you options for "sharing." I would think these would be great tools for your clinics. Karen Karen Thomas Wingate, NC No virus found in this outgoing message.

RE: [IceHorses] Saddle rack - Skjoni
Hi Karen, >>>The pictures were taken literally only seconds before the video. It's not EXACTLY the same stretch in time, but very close to it, with no change in terrain nor footing. I love seeing this type of photo, not only because of freeze framing the footfall but also it freeze frames the rider. Is it tricky to put photos up onto the site you did?

RE: [IceHorses] Saddle rack - Skjoni
>>> Neat Karen! I like the continuous mode photos--they really show the gait well! And Cary looks to be a very relaxed, easygoing rider. Thanks. FWIW, it does not take an expensive camera to do that. I used the tiny little Nikon that Cary bought at Wal-Mart (for about $119 I think) to get both the continuous still shots and the little video. I have one that's a little more expensive (a slim little Kodak V610 with 10x optical zoom) and they both have the continuous feature. I can't remember the last time we hauled out the "real" camcorder. Karen Thomas, NC

[IceHorses] Saddle rack - Skjoni
Would this be helpful? Those of you who know Cary and Skjoni know that Cary doesn't do a thing to force Skjoni into "tolt". Generally, Skjoni defaults to a saddle rack. (He did do a slightly diagonal 'fox rack" at the Liz Graves clinic last fall - I suspect that was because the footing was different in the arena we rode in...?) Anyway, last Thanksgiving, Cary rode him along this same stretch 3-4 times so I could get pictures and a little video. Here is a link to the pictures - the camera was on "continuous" mode so the shots are VERY close in time. http://www.kodakgallery.com/I.jsp?c=4jh0nhxz.bccf2jvb&x=0&y=q0g64s And here's a link to the video I uploaded to You Tube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHdab8atoiA The pictures were taken literally only seconds before the video. It's not EXACTLY the same stretch in time, but very close to it, with no change in terrain nor footing. Karen Thomas [EMAIL PROTECTED]
