Park House Stables

Today I was invited to spend the morning at Park House Stables, camera in hand, excited and ready to capture these beautiful creatures in action. I had done this once before and that time had no idea what I was looking for as far as a ‘technically’ good shot of a racehorse at speed. This time I had only a little bit more of a clue as to which position their legs should be in when I pressed the button. It only took two horses to thunder past me, earth flying, to realise that it didn’t matter in the slightest what I knew or didn’t know…for me this would be simply down to luck!
So from the warm-up (there is a more correct name for this), followed by a gentle canter up to the gallops, and next the challenge of capturing these beautiful creatures at speed and then the wash down back at the stables – I loved every minute! Huge thanks to the wonderful Balding family…when can I come again?!
