Welcome aboard, I definitely am looking forward to seeing some horses - Do you cover many equestrian events like showjumping, etc or really just any where and any place. I used to play a sport called "polox" (like Lacrosse , but on horseback) - was fantastic, fast paced and hard work - I swear the horses enjoyed it more than we did. Primararly quarter horses though , not too many thoroughbreds.
Anyways hope you enjoy being an active member here, hope you will be able to get a DSLR soon - I have loved mine since day one, will never go back
