I went to the Callaway Gardens' Steeple Chase on the 3rd. The weather was just gorgeous- here are my favorite pictures from the day, and two extras from when I went last year! :)

These are all clicky to full size. ^_^

Gray Horse, Pink/Gray jockey (Number Five last year, number One this year) from last year (Nice to see the same horse again. :D ) [URL=http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l104/Palitato/SteepleChase/CGSC12.png][IMG]http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l104/Palitato/SteepleChase/Temp/CGSC14.png[/IMG][/URL]

wow <3 nice shots!!

it's been a while since I ride a horse :') haha, oh good days

Haha, that " Huurrr Imma HORSE guyz!" picture made me laugh. I used to go to a horse track in San Antonio with my family that was pretty big, we'd always get hotdogs and my dad would let my brother and I choose horses to bet on. Your pictures are really nice, looks like you were close to the horses!

@ Rorschach

Haha, that one's classic, definite horse photo-bomb! I was taking a picture of the big boy in front. :P

And yeah, we were right up against the fence, and the jump was about a hundred feet down the course. And of course, I figured out the chain-shot photo option on my camera AFTER the race. :P I was too busy trying to snatch just one picture every time they went by- I could have had a bunch! xD

Thank you!! I wish I'd figured my camera out a bit more before I went, but I like the pictures I took quite a lot, and it was easier to get them than with my old camera. I got maybe five or six that I liked that weren't blurry or slightly out of focus last year- the ones I DID manage to get were amazing, but all the rest were bad- this year I got a whole TON of good pictures that are usable/croppable that are much better. It was SUPER hot this year though, so most of my time was spent hiding under an umbrella for shade!
