Some images from one of the recent jumper events in New Hampshire. I find it interesting that at Grand Prix level there are perhaps as many men riders as women, but in the lower levels and age groups it's nearly 100% girls and young women. This sport looks relatively simple but these riders take decades to learn to do it at this level.

Very nice shots, particularly #2. At the Grand Prix level good riders but it's really all about the horse and time. Neither are even close to being cheap.

Yeah, it looks simple until you've tried to stay on a horse. #1 is a classic shot, nice background and good lighting. #2 gives a nice feel for the power of these horses. The third one, while it captures the feel of the moment nicely, isn't a very pleasing scene to me. Both hunters and jumpers seem tricky to photograph to me, because you need a sufficiently large depth of field because of the size of the horses, yet there is often a lot of visual clutter everywhere.

Thank you for the comments, Halle. I think you're right.
