Moat View Riding Club at the Kent County Show

After a week of having.... something, which rendered me flat on my back for nearly all of last week, I wasn't sure I was going to make the Kent Show on Saturday. But, after taking every precaution possible, I did managed to meet with Colette for the drive up to Detling. My two main objectives were to get a decent hat and to photograph the Moat View Riding Club competing in the Team event. I managed to get not one but two good quality hats which should last me a bit longer than the cheap ones that I keep going through. As for the photos, I was a little disappointed as when the class finally started, the lighting went downhill really fast. However, I did manage to capture all the team at some point and also some other riding club members who I knew and who asked me to take some of them. I had no intention of photographing everybody as I wasn't the 'official' photographer so I apologise in advance if your not included in the photos.

Here is a quick slide show of my favourites of Moat View...

Colette's Horse & Dog Shows at Barville Farm

While this event was a relatively quiet, as Colette's shows go, the requests for photos was anything but. We have a huge choice of images ready to go to the mags this time and a few of them can be seen below.

Otterden W.I. Fun Horse Show at Otterden Park

This, to me, is what a horse show is all about. A hot sunny day in a beautiful country estate with lots of people freely contributing their time to make it as enjoyable as possible. And, at the same time, raise some much needed money for charity. With a bacon roll, a cup of tea and still getting change from two quid, it was almost like stepping back in time...

Colette's Evening Jumping at Blue Barn

A very pleasant evening of showjumping complete with a parade around the arena by Elise Pilbeam on Gucci who won the Leading Rider of the Year. To round the evening off, she also won two of the three jumping classes.

Well done Elise...
