Hope you enjoyed this sample of practice rides, the tack-ful in-between preparation, and the meaningful show number Brad chose. Let's just say, he's wearing my number.

photos tell the story
Enjoy some long overdue photos from Brad's last show of his first season. Just for the record, there are no show ring photos. Before anyone get's their undies in a bundle (again) know that I had written permission to take photos of this duo, out of the show ring. Ridiculous. I know. But those are the rules. My purpose at horse shows isn't to take photos anyways, it is to support my husband while living his dream. Since I wasn't working, my camera intentionally stayed in it's bag during key moments. I believe in living them. Not watching them removed, through a lens. With that said, I'll let the photos tell a little about the rest of the story...

Love the art to your photos.
Brad and Cierra make a good looking duo.
I've been thinking about doing photography at barrel races as my retirement hobby, guess I'd better research permissions on that.
Thanks so much Shirley, for seeing my photos as art! Sometimes I wonder...but I just keep shooting from the heart, and leaving the posed/filtered/over-processed photography to others.
The restrictions I've run into with taking photos at shows are with WI AQHA. I looked into shooting barrel racing locally. What I found was photographers were using a tripod strategically aimed at a barrel, shooting rapid fire with a flash. All the pictures look similar. I am sure not everyone shoots barrels this way, but that general action style (aiming at one spot) is what I've seen officially done at shows across all disciplines. With your keen eye, I am sure you will excel in finding a more creative approach.
It's sad that there's so much political interference in everything these days...but, these photos are absolutely wonderful! They show exactly that, your husband living his dream, with his horse and the support of his loving wife and life partner. :)
I think some of your pictures could definitely be framed as works of art. I also agree that sometimes it's better to see things "lens-less" and commit it to memory. Brad and Cierra looked very happy with each other.
beautiful photos! Cierra is a lovely girl
