Novice Show Jumping

The Rye Country Show today had lots to watch including Morris Dancers, Gun Dog Training and Show Jumping. These local shows involve a lot of work and organisation to entertain the public but are worth the effort and are appreciated by many. This particular show's proceeds will go to St Michael's Hospice in East Sussex.

Great timing for this shot Catherine, I keep thinking I need some horse shots! Lovely focus and composition too

[Catherine]

@365anne I like your profile picture - is this your horse? You should have seen how many of these shots I had to delete!! Thank you for the fav too.

[Anne]

haha, Catherine, my profile pic has changed! No it was not my horse, I did a heavy horse driving day and that was the horse I drove for that day. He was lovely!! I can imagine it took a lot of shots to get this one...... but so worth it
