WOW! Even though the day started out with a near disaster in rehearsel, the events of the day came off without any incidents.

I am impressed with the talent & effort these people invest in these beautiful animals. This is "class" as far as the performance & showmanship we witnessed on this very bright sunshiny Saturday in the desert south of Phoenix @ Estrella Mountain Park. Unfortunately for the participants, not a lot of people knew about this extravaganza but that meant we had no problems with parking, wandering, meeting people & finding positions from which from which to take pictures.

Thank you to EVERYONE who attended & participated in "The Day of the Spanish Horse." And a very special thank you to Jan for offering this option for something new & different to shoot! This was a photo opportunity & an education all in one morning.
