Personal Comments, Day 3 /1.......
Malvern 2006, Day 3, "stallion" and "veteran" day. Sadly the Malvern "curse"
of heavy rain on the Saturday afternoon struck again !  We had to dive
for the shelter of the grandstand. But that didn't detract from the
excellent quality of the horses taking part, or getting good photo's.

One of the things I can do is to take photographs that interest
me or are unusual, as I'm not constrained by having to sell
the photo's I take at the show to make an income.
I just hope that everyone enjoys these as much as I do.

I'd also like to thank Mr N. Arnold for coming over for a nice chat about
my photo's and for his very helpful advice about this webpage.

I would like to thank all those who spent time
chatting to us and allowing us to photograph their horses.
