TTC – Dressage/CT/Jumper Show – 8/15/2020

So much has changed in these last few months. But one thing that hasn’t changed is how difficult it is to take photographs in conditions of high heat and humidity.

The early part of this horse show was one such morning. I arrived at TTC and went to the dressage arena. But, between my fogged glasses and fogged camera I was helpless. Wiping off the moisture didn’t help either, because the fog was back within seconds. . . .

TTC – English Hunter Fun Show – 06/27/2020

At an English Hunter Fun Show at TTC, there are two classes where the judge answers questions or shares interesting pieces of advice individually or to the group. During “a Judge’s View”, I normally take a quick break while there is this lull in the action.

However, at the Hunter show on June 27, I happened to be standing right next to the judge’s box when the riders gathered around on their horses, looking up towards the judge.

Hillcrest Farms Horse show – 06/20/2020

Saturday June 20th was the the first horse show at Hillcrest Farms since early February. Saturday was very different! The weather was pleasant, the turnout was good, and there was a lot of happy chatter.
