This is one of the competitors in the Speed Racking portion of the World Racking Horse Competition held this weekend in Chatsworth, Georgia. Absolutely beautiful animals with a gait that applies only one foot to the ground at a time producing a very steady, easy ride. And at this pace, takes a quick move to get out of the way!

More of the horse and rider would have punched up this shot. I see the light was coming in from the left. would have been nice to have caught more of the light hitting the horse to help set it and the rider off. the light coming in overthe grand stand is a bit harsh and washed out part of the image as well. I may have said to much, but know I still think this image has merit and is a fresh shot for the sport challenge. 6

Hard to shoot under these conditions -- "Rack On" has to be one of the most exciting commands in the horse show world -

I really like this photo. It really captures the feel of the event. The colors are wonderful, and I love the angle that shows the spectators.

Just curious what racking is, I've never heard of it. This looks like dressage to me. I would have cropped in a LOT... So that you get some of the crowd watching, and the horse and person but without the blown out background and the tons of extra ring.

Difficult to see the rider/horse with the busy background. I'm sure this was not easy to shoot. Nice try, beautiful subject.
