Thunderbird Horse Show Park - BCHJA Finals

9/22/2014

While working on my current "movement" project, I was given an opportunity to visit Thunderbird Horse Show Park in Langley, BC. They were having their BCHJA Fall Finals between September 18th - 21st. The good people there gave me a media pass (so I didn't look like a total creeper) and I was free to roam the grounds and take in the events and get some action shots. 

"Horses..."
(and I say that in my best Elizabeth Taylor impression from National Velvet, when she first arrived at Aintree Racecourse for the Grand National)

Yup, that's how I felt when I arrived at my personal Shangri-la. Horses and equestrian sports were a big part of my younger life. I still get opportunities to ride now and then, but it's just not the same. I miss the bond between horse and rider, the training, the grooming, the getting up at 5:00am to feed and turn out horses or getting ready for a show. And yes, even a part of me misses the smell. 

Some highlights of the day:
