Shelford Manor – Equestrian

A full three days of eventing this was my second event here this year and it proved to be a scorcher...

This weekend gave us the hottest day of the year. I was covering the show jumping for two of the days, which gave me the opportunity to get the remote camera out enabling me to cover more jumps and get some dynamic angles of the horses as they jumped the fences. With the way the course was laid out it also gave me the opportunity to move about quite a bit enabling me to get low down for jumps then almost head on giving some great images.

On the third day I was covering the cross-country which had a section with two fences one as the riders entered a forest area and the other as they exited. With the sun beating down I used my home-made umbrella stand, which usually is for when it’s raining, but this really helped keep the sun off me for the day.

Next stop for my equestrian events will be Osberton (can’t wait!)
