For another competition, but thisContinue reading “CSO Photography Gavray”

CSO Centre Equestre du Val de Sienne

Photography from my day out with the team at CSO Centre Equestre du Val de Sienne. A good day all around, fine weather, happy horses, and two first places.

Autumnal show jumping competitions are always a gamble for the weather.Continue reading “CSO Centre Equestre du Val de Sienne”
