South Shore Horseman's Council

It was a rainy day for the SSHC show in Raynham, but I stopped by for a few photos.



There are always some great horses and riders here and it's well worth the trip if you're in the area.

77th Annual June Show

Prophet would like to thank everyone who came out to see him at the Hanover Hunt and Riding Club's 77th Annual June Show at to see him take fifth in the Local Pleasure class.



Prophet would also like to note that the pink ribbon matches his tongue nicely.

2009 Bryn Mawr Hound Show

Wow, it's been a while since I've updated here, but lots of things have been going on, including a trip to the Bryn Mawr Hound Show in Malvern, Pennsylvania with the Tanheath Hunt.



This was the first day out with my Nikon F4, which replaces my D70 backup camera which was filled with water on one of the later hunts this winter. I'm pretty happy with the F4, but it's going to take a bit of experimentation and practice to get everything dialed in with it. I'm looking forward to that, though.

More Foxhunting in Cumberland

Once again, we're hunting at Burnt Swamp in Cumberland, Rhode Island. The winter weather is still here, but we've had a few warm days so there's grass starting to poke through the snow.



The woods are still icy, so we stuck to the open fields. The hounds were moving well and a good time was had by all.

Hound Exercise

The ground is still a bit bad for proper hunting, but we've had a bit of a February thaw, so it's off to Burnt Swamp in Cumberland, Rhode Island for a bit of hound exercise.

Levaland Farm

Jen Goddard of Levaland Farm invited me down to photograph a winter horse show down at her place in Middleborough, Massachusetts. Normally I'm not a fan of shooting inside indoor schools, but I'm a sucker for barrel racing, so...

More photos from the show are available here.

The First Snow

The first snow of the winter is always something special for Prophet and myself. There are few things better than a ride out in a light snow to lighten the mood and make one forget the cold and gloom of the winter months.
