Saturday's event was fun for kids of all ages, and the horses seemed to enjoy it too. It was hard to pick just one Daily Photo image, but I think this spontaneous embrace showing the bond between rider and horse says it all.
What I mostly saw was timed sprinting, and I wasn't close enough, or expert enough to get good competition shots, but the spectators had me busy. Click here for additional horsey photos of the event on my overflow blog.

That sounds like a fantastic day.
I remember how much I loved riding a horse when I was a child. It was a fantastic feeling of adventure and freedom.

This is probably as good as it gets. Nice photography.
Great, great shot that truly captures the emotions you describe.
Awww... what a sweet picture. I always thought it would be difficult to judge horses. I think they all have their own beauty.
I love this shot!
That's a really sweet moment. Good capture!
I've never ridden a horse, but I can imagine hanging onto the horses's neck wondering how the h#ll I got up there. :O
What a lovely picture!
I really like it. In my mind this girl showed her affection to horse. Excellent captured.
Rose - thank you. I used to take English style riding lessons as a girl too, but I never had my own horse. And don't worry, my name gets mangled all the time.
Marlow - that's funny!
Abraham - it looked like a sudden moment of bliss when it happened.
FL - thank you so much.
Hal - there will be horse shows coming up later this year, and I hope I remember to seek them out. I hope you saw the extra photos linked in my Overflow.
Kelly - thanks, I do too.
KG - you don't know what you're missing!
Bursa and iBlowfish - Thank you both. I had a fun hour or so snapping away to my heart's content.

I grew up in Brazil where horse riding lessons were unheard off.
It was just a natural path for someone living in the country like me.

You must do it! It is wonderful... find a calm and sweet mare for your first ride and you will never forget the experience...
