Arabian Nationals

Arabian Nationals are in town. Today was our first really cold day here. Four layers later and sheltered from the wind in a horse stall I was still struggling to feel my hands after an hour. It seemed some of the horses were coping better than others with the windy weather.

2007 Youth National Arabian and Half-Arabian Horse Show

I love horse shows.
Especially photographing them, since I don't have to feel the pressure of competing like I once did.

A hard rain turned the warm-up ring into a water fall.

Mom was firmly instructing her daughter while in the show ring.
