REINS Spring Classic - AM Shift
Location not specified yetIMPORTANT: Read entire description before registering.
Reins is having their annual horse show on Sunday April 12 here in Fallbrook. I have been volunteering at Reins for over 10 years and it is a fantastic program that serves so many. They asked if I could gather several local (or far away) photographers to come down and spend a few hours taking photos of the program, awards and onlooking family and friends.

The plan would be to rotate positions throughout the shift
- The riders are secured to the horse with 2 escorts walking them, it is slow movement.
- Participating students/parents have already signed photography waivers.
