That first horse looks magnificiant Dennis  . The second and third shots look full of action and drama. I'm not sure if it is better to have some motion in the pictures to emphasise the movement, or to freeze the subject in mid flight?

I guess jumping horses have to be poweful and fit to last the distance, I've never really followed horse jumping much so I have no idea what breeds they use, but that first one looks impressive.

Dennis, Great set. I loved the third one best. I could feel the tension in those sinewy muscles of the horse. #1 has great pose and shows the majesty of the animal. No wonder you want to trade the kingdom for the horse. To me second one would have been wonderful had not the back of the horse is not obstructed by the hurdles (?). The sheer variety made it more enjoyable for me. With best regards, Sury

Thanx for all tips and tricks and constructive comments I was on the racetrack today with my family and thought a train on my panning skills to get the speed feeling this are a few of the better ones S1/80 F10 iso100 100mm Attachment:

Very nice. Your riders are much cleaner and better dressed than the ones I photograph. (Yours haven't been dragged through a muddy rodeo arena by an angry bronco.... ) You have the panning down to perfection. I particularly like the first of the racing shots--the part with the rider staring into the nostrils of the following horse.
