Default Zara Phillips and Toytown

This is a photo of the Queen of England's Granddaughter (Zara) riding her horse at the Badminton Horse Trials.

Zara is an excellent horsewomen, like her mother Princess Anne. Unfortunately she did not have a great day, but I wanted to share this photo as I really like it and Zara is a great lady, a great sports person....and Toytown (the horse) is a great looking beast !!

They have just started to canter into the first fence for the Cross Country round of a 3 day event competition.

I particularly like the impression of movement and capturing the mid air effect. Hope you like them?

It's too big to fit in my screen, can you post it in medium size? It's got an ad across a third of it for me

It was my first one. My wife loves horses so I am assuming we will go to more. I really enjoyed photoing the riders and especially the horses, truly fantastic. Their form and stances are incredible
