So saddened to hear that Jodie McKeone has passed away. She has battled with health challenges for years but it is hard to believe that this amazing woman will no longer be flying around behind her wonderful horses. Jodie was always generous and supportive and she will be sadly missed. deepest condolences to Evanne Chesson and Jodie's family and friends. RIP Jodie ❤

Baroque Horse Festival 2026 Kryal Castle Ballarat. What a spectacle it was! So many photos of gorgeous horses, beautiful costumes and skilled riders and handlers. Sigh....I will be glued to the computer for weeks! 😍

Kryal Castle Medieval Festival in Ballarat last Saturday. First big photography day out for me for quite some time. I love these events, but it is always a challenge trying to find good clear shooting spots without getting in the way of spectators - or them getting in my way. And all the other photobombs that happen just as that perfect shot is about to be taken. It has taken me some time to edit the crowds as I am aware of privacy issues. I am happy to post photos of the creative people in costumes who went to so much effort to look so spectacular. The team at Kryal Castle put on an exciting spectacle as always. So fortunate to have this wonderful venue and dedicated displays of medieval skills at arms and horsemanship. Here are some of my favourite photos captures.
