Good try at a hard sport you need to be more on the ball what equipment do you have i feel if you had waited a tad longer it would have been a better shot
Ahh, the crazy world of high-level eventing, grease on the legs and all...this looks like a CCI. Where did you shoot?
Another 1/100th of a second later and you probably would have had an excellent 3/4 shot of the entire horse and rider. Also, I wouldn't have bothered mentioning barrels in the title, I think many people are going to be expecting to see a barrel racer. Still, I know how hard it is to get a good shot of a horse and rider esp when they're going at Mach 3 like this pair!
