This image was taken at the Syracuse Invitational Sport Horse Tournament. The rider is Beezie Madden on Judgement, who won a gold metal in the group category at the last Olympics. Beezie is our home town favorite since she's from Nelson, NY. All the riders were Olympic caliber. Beezie won this part of the competition, but lost the over all by a few hundredths of a second. I really like doing these images in slow motion for the feeling of movement. I did some in stop action too, which I'll also put on the site.
