This great horse cleared 6'9" to win the Five Bar competition at the Del Mar National Horse Show.

1. this would make a great entry

For the contest that *almost* was this month--I forget all the names, but where there are two, three or four photos together. My camera won't snap that fast!

I love the one with the tail going up!

These are truly professional looking photos--all.

I'm in the wrong bidness!!!

2. UNBELIEVABLE !

I cannot imagine the excitement of being there. I also cannot imagine just how much you love the horses and the entire milieu. You are an awesome photographer, and well worth hiring.

(I for one would mostly be searching for the betting window, thinking I'm in Santa Anita or something :))

Seriously, I would just love to watch you work!

6. You always make me blush!

Watching me work, ha! I'm the one with the camera permanently attached to my nose!

I headed for the betting window here on Derby Day and wish I'd had more confidence in my pick -- bet $2 on the winner and won $18 big bucks!!!

3. Out of curiosity, how tall is that horse?

7. Don't really know...

... but the jumpers are huge! This guy may be around 17 or 18 hands (one hand = 4" at the wither).
