This image is of a horse and rider completing a jump over a hurdle. I composed it while visiting a show-jumping competition at Spruce Meadows, a world-acclaimed equestrian centre in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
In this competition, world-class riders and their horses must must complete a circuit of jumps over barriers of various heights, some over water, within a certain time. If any of the barrier elements are knocked off, 4 seconds are added to the rider's time. If a horse baulks at a jump on more than one occasion, the horse and rider are disqualified.
A wonderful exhibition of sportsmanship, featuring the superb athletic skills of both the rider and the horse.

Buddy is an Australian Shepherd, a very unusual breed of dogs. I've heard that Border Collies & Australian Shepherds are considered the two smartest breeds in the world. They're very intuitive & they're natural born athletes. They can almost read your mind. If you're throwing the ball for him & you bank it off a wall, at an angle, he knows exactly where the ball will go after it leaves the wall. He'll always be there to catch it. When he is giving you this look, he's sizing you up.
