Description:

This is a wonderful opportunity to practice fast-paced sport photography. These ponies move fast! These animals are beautiful and when working in unison with their riders, a beauty to behold. Bring your fast, long telephoto lenses and be prepared to be challenged. There will be two matches, a Champagne Divot Stomp, special herding exhibit and following the matches, music and an after party. With so much going on, this should be a fun and challenging shoot! In addition to the polo matches, there will be antique biplanes. There should be many photo ops!
