Pine Tree CDE is one of my favorite shows to photograph. They have great fall colors and light (sorry Aiken). This year, Pine Tree was completely full for the weekend show and also held a combined test on Friday. For the first time, Pine Tree also offered a VSE division. Unfortunately, only three turned up, hopefully it will be better attended if they offer it again. I competed on Friday, so had plenty of time to take photos on Saturday and Sunday. I took tons of photos of Maggie Sullivan and super adorable Elmo. It was Maggie and Elmo’s first show in a year, and they did awesome!
I have a million super cute photos of Elmo…
Next, it was fun to see these guys…
The grey half of Ed Hopkins’ pony four-in-hand is sired by my stallion, Ziggy. Below left is Ziggy at the Laurels in 2006 (I think?). On the right, is Xena, who is sired by Ziggy out of a Section D mare. Zigs definitely stamped his kiddo!
They were super good kids!!
Pine Tree also saw Paul Maye with Harmony Sport Horses new four in hand make their American debut of sorts. They are fun to take photos of!
Josh Rector had a bunch of clients competing at the show, so brought his four-in-hand for some lessons with Keady. He has a bunch of interesting new horses as well.
Also, here are more pictures of cute ponies I photographed! And Dana and Manny Diemer (technically Randy took this picture but whatever.) And a cute kitty!
