CanAm 2008 ~ Part 2

I just wanted to share a few more photos from CanAm. Some from the breed demo:
Friesian in harness...gotta love those manes...



















Friesian under saddle:















A beautiful Gypsy Vanner in harness (note to any GV owners out there looking for photography services...call me, let's make a deal ;o) )



















A nice black Percheron in harness. That breed has such lovely movement:



















...and from the extravaganza:
"Bash" is a 19+ hh Belgian that holds the record for the tallest trick horse in the world. His rider/trainer sounded like an introverted Dolly Parton. Love that accent ;o)


































The Canadian Cowgirls are always a big hit. Some day our own North River Riders Demo Team will give them a run for their money... right girls ;o) !?

Hi Leslie,

Nice images, thank you for sharing them. Boy those freisians & vanners are pretty!!! I'm curious what lens & settings you used for these?

Thanks Wendy! I really pushed my camera to the limit, especially for the evening show shots. Max ISO (1600), aperture around f/5.0, shutter speed 1/160, no flash, 70-200 Canon lens, a very steady hand, lots of panning, and an adjustment to levels in PS. Hope that helps!
