Winning team
Scanned film print. 2005 Columbia Classic Grand Prix. Canon EOS Rebel.
Finally got that sweet shot over the oxer by a great team after burning through more than two rolls of film. This pair won the event, as you can see they are focused, working as one and having fun. That horse cleared that 5’ fence by a foot, such a super athletic animal.
This series is pretty much the only official sporting event I ever shot with film. These horse and rider teams were really hard to capture since they are going about 25 mph. Former equestrian myself but never this good — I wish I rode at the Grand Prix level (expensive sport) but I did jump a 5’x2’ fence a few times on a really good horse and it was awesome.
FYI - car on the course due to sponsorship by Mercedes.
