Good luck to everyone heading out to Bull Broncs & Barrels at Coombs this weekend!

We aren’t working the event this time around, but we’re so excited to see all the familiar faces, cheer everyone on, and watch the weekend unfold. To everyone lucky enough to have made the draw — go have a hell of a weekend!

And while we’re thinking about it, we just want to say, thank you.

Thank you to this community for giving us such an incredible summer. For letting us be there to capture the races, the dust, the celebrations, the close calls, the big wins, and all those little magical moments that happen in between.

One comment someone made about our photos has really stuck with us. They said that looking at them felt like a dream.

That meant more to us than you probably realize.

Because that’s exactly what we hope to create — photographs that take you back to how it felt to be there. The kind of moments that almost don’t feel real when you look back at them.

We’re incredibly grateful that you’ve trusted us to capture those moments for you.

So here’s to another weekend of fast horses, big rides, dusty arenas, good people and memories worth keeping.

Good luck to everyone at Bull Broncs & Barrels. We can’t wait to see you all shine.

Don't forget... Look up! and SMILE!

Olivia Jacobsen – Super Bugs & Bar V Nahla

High strides and fast times, Olivia raced around the barrels with blistering speed while making it look easy. Sometimes luck is also on your side! Olivia was one of our Friday photo package winners, and these are just a few of our favourite moments we captured throughout the day. Congratulations again—we hope these memories bring plenty of smiles! 💙

Samantha Nesbitt & Manners Maketh Man

With a name like Manners Maketh Man, you'd think this was the most behaved horse.. but we know the real man behind the mask. Samantha and her partner gave us plenty of beautiful moments worth remembering and one powerful slide around the barrels. 📷

Sherri Pridge & Porky

Every horse has a story, and Porky's is one worth celebrating. After overcoming a fractured leg and making an incredible return to competition, seeing this team back doing what they love was something special. Thank you Sherri Pridge, for everything you do for the horse community through Extreme Performance Horses . ❤️

📸 We survived... barely. 😅

After a marathon sorting session (and more coffee than we'd like to admit ☕), we've finally wrangled over 10,000 photos from an incredible three days at the Simmons Quarter Horse event! 🐴💙

First off, thank you all for your patience. We know everyone's excited to see their photos, and we truly appreciate you giving us the time to sort through everything properly. Finding those secret moments of the day takes a lot of time and patience with the camera and those edits! We never want to rush them out.

The good news? 🚀 Photos are about to start rolling out much more quickly!

Our priority is making sure everyone gets:
🐎 Your run photos
📸 Those candid moments around the grounds, and just before and after your run, that tell the rest of the story.

Whether you were flying through the pattern, cheering on your friends, sneaking in that ritual pre-run good luck kiss, or celebrating an awesome run, we've got plenty of memories coming your way.

Thanks again for all the support over the weekend—it means the world to this little passion project. We can't wait to share everything we captured! ❤️

(And yes... there are a lot of photos. We may never look at a memory card the same way again. 😂)

💙 If you haven't reached out yet, send us a message for photo pricing! Out of those 10,000+ photos, there's a pretty good chance we've captured one of your secret moments from the weekend—and we'd love to get it over to you.

😄 Don't forget to smile... you never know when the camera will find you! 📸🐴

It's the FINAL DAY of the Simmons Quarter Horse 3-Day Race, and Duck & Shoot will be out on the grounds all day capturing the action!

We don't just photograph your run—we love catching all those candid moments throughout the day too. Whether it's celebrating with friends, getting ready at the trailer, or sharing a laugh between rakes, those are often the photos people treasure most.

📩 Send us a message on pricing or come find us around the grounds if you'd like to make sure we get plenty of candid's of you throughout the day, not just your run.

A huge shout out to everyone who rode on Friday and Saturday! We have photos of everyone from Friday's events and can't wait to share them with you, reach out to get yours!

🎥 While you're here, be sure to check out Sky High Images! They'll be on the grounds today filming, and if you've ever wanted an incredible drone video of your run, make sure you reach out to them before you race. They're not affiliated with Duck & Shoot, but we're always excited to see other local businesses supporting the equestrian community.

See you around the grounds—and remember... look up!... and give us your best smile! 😁📷
