Nationals Pictures (second post)

OK....this is the first time I've had time to post these...there's 3 posts bts ☺

Me and the show photographer having camera wars (seriously) in between classes. I think he was bored_and sorta (understandably) suspicious of anyone on the rail with a "big" camera. I think us, Kevin Kidder, and Kelly Campbell were the only ones! But we were watched....Kelly and Kevin were being paid by people to take pics instead of him because he didn't have enough time during a class to take more than 1 or 2 pics a class per horse. He was a pretty good sport :)
Show ring steward taking pics of a horse on his phone..too funny
Erica couldn't get the treats out of her pocket during halter

Tell Lisa she is not near ferocious enough looking. Lower her eye brows, make her snarl, and put a bezel on the front of that bad boy in her hands and it MIGHT be formidable. :)

Ha ha ha :) I don't think I would look ferocious even then.
