Always great to stand at the bottom of the run with a long lens to get those feet in the air shots, and Flo’s feathers make it that bit more interesting!

Bareback Indian - I heard by accident of the competition. I immediately made my way to the competition and this was my first encounter with mounted archery. As you can see, I took the photo at 12 noon and I was delighted with the outcome. I never realize how much skill the riders must have to ride and still use both hands to shoot the bow and arrow
