Nice action shot, Greg. Horse and rider look as one. Were you in burst mode when you took this?

Greg, I can so appreciate a shot like this and if u don't mind would like to comment further about it.. You can say oh shut it if u want:)... Horses are not always easy to shoot and have him looking good in the shot.. A couple of tips is not to shoot broad side or head on as the horse looks like the broad side of a board /flat if u know what i mean.... Where as if u shoot from another angle his composition will stand out.. It makes him seem alive.. Always be sure ears are up which u did .. i know what u are after and Yeah for going after it..
I think u have the potential to really nail a shot like this..

I agree with shutterpug it's fun to see them with all 4 feet off the ground.

Nice catch. It's always so fun to snap at the right moment when feet are all off the ground.

excellent title .. a beautiful shot of the rider and the horse . you've captured that feeling of freedom that a horse running seems to have . even tho it in an arena and has a bridle on !!..:)

Good focus and freeze on the horse's head. Interesting shot content-wise but I'd prefer the horse to be coming toward me as opposed to away from me.

Beautiful horse & capture, greg-sharpness is not bad for motion that you captured :)

Oh like the stopped motion. Would have liked it a bit sharper, but nice.
