Grand National & World Championship Morgan Horse Show 2018

Above: Howie Schatzberg has been taking pictures at the Nationals for longer than I’d like to admit 😉

Once again I’ve been entertaining myself with my camera, and as I did last year, will post the less terrible pictures (for official photos by a skilled photographer, go to howardschatzberg.com). (See my pictures from 2017)
I started taking pictures Wednesday evening. They are more or less in order. Feel free to download and share any you like! Unfortunately I have neither the experience nor the patience to learn how to use my (rather limited) camera very well, so these are the best out of many failures…

It was great this year, after two years of… too much seriousness.

Because the class was split and 12 came back for the final, this was a long process that resulted in many photos 😉
