They're OFF

Hmm, went out this morning to see if I could get a red kite shot. Failed there!

The gallops are next to where I usually see the Kites. Never seen a horse on them before. Maybe I was just about earlier today.

Three dogs only two leads, pheasants all over the place and galloping horses. Not to mention the camera! A challenge. Having been worken several times in the night by both boys.

So one dog on lead with foot on it. Two dogs attached to the other lead being held and me hoping I can hand hold and get a shot with the other! No surprise that the majority of shots were blurred ....

Couldn't decide which to post. both made me laugh.

Was the lad on the right still recovering from the night before or dreaming of winning the race? Probably just as well he wasn't on horse 1 as it was clearly being a little bit of a challenge. Pity we cant see that riders eyes. I am sure having his tounge out was helping him keep control!
