It was such a pleasure working with Rylan and his mom, Jamie, to capture his high school senior portraits with his horse, Gibs. We were blessed with beautiful weather and the most incredible light, which made the session even more special. Gibs was an absolute star and full of personality.
These moments between horse and rider are always so meaningful, and it was an honor to help preserve this milestone. Wishing Rylan all the best in his next chapter! 🎓🎉

🔢Back Numbers: It’s All in the Details🔢

It only takes a moment sitting ringside at a horse show to appreciate the attention to detail that competitors bring to their sand-covered stage. Each crystal-covered jacket, perfectly placed band, tightly wrapped braid, and tangle-free tail creates a picture-perfect image for judges to evaluate. The effort and investment in competing in this sport cannot be overstated. Yet, there is one area that many exhibitors often overlook: the proper display of back numbers.

Hear from judge Sandy Curl and judge Leslie Lange about this rulebook topic:
