I'm not sure who this Palomino mare is, she was outside one of the rings when I arrived, and was looking straight ahead, which always makes for a good picture. She may be Krysto Easter Surprise, but I'm not certain (if anyone knows for sure, let me know).

Again, another horse I'm not sure of, but this was class 9A, Junior Mare, 4-6yo

This is most probably a gelding called 'Drumhouse' (Dhruv x Diamond Treasure) taken during one of the ridden classes (class 24/25) whilst the judge was riding him.

I quite liked this grey the first time I saw her in the collecting ring (where this photo was taken from). I think she is a 2 year old filly called 'Shifali' (FS Bengali [DE] x G Shyamasri). She had the right conformation and had a lot of presence. I was not surprised to see her win her class.

Foals always make a good subject to photograph, this one is was un-named at the show, but the dam I think was 'Paleogeia'

Olympus C-2100, 1/400th sec, F5.2, 702mm (digital zoom on, and no tripod !)

Winner of the three year old colt class, 'Ora El Masri' (Orashaan x Alanda) who went on to deservedly take the junior male championship. An outstanding looking colt in my opinion.

I had taken a number of photo's of this impressive looking mare, called 'Madannia' (Medalj[SE] x Mikinah). She took 3rd place in her class (junior barren mare, 4-6yo). This is the best one of the series I took of this horse.

I had been waiting a while to get a good picture of this mare so she stood out from the background, the wait was rewarded...

Olympus C-2100 , 1/800th sec, F5.5, 554mm (hand held too).

Not certain, but this may be 'Thee Rastafa' or 'AH Danza Bey' in the yearling colt class. Black horses are always a challenge to photograph.
