This past weekend was the weekend for Breyerfest 2008 at the Kentucky Horse Park. For those folks that don't know what that is, it is a Celebration put on by the Breyer Model Horse company of model horses, and real horses. It's also "model horse mecca" for anyone that collects model horses. I had a great time and it was good to see old friends.
I rented a Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 lens so that I could try for some decent pictures in the Kentucky Horse Park Arena. Unfortunately the place where I rented the lens didn't hear me say that I wanted the Image Stabilization Version of the lens so I got the one without. Needless to say, that was challenging to shoot with. It'll probably take me a few days to go through all of my pictures but here are a couple that I've already "tweaked".
One is of the Celebration horse, Alborozo. Alborozo is a Grey Andalusian and is also trained in Haute Ecole. He can do the Capriole and a few other very impressive maneuvers!
The second horse (the bay)is also an Andalusian and I believe is owned by the same ranch that owns Alborozo. Unfortunately I didn't get his name.

Both looked glorious on Friday morning in the Sunlight so I couldn't resist snapping a few pictures.
