2014 Monster Mini CDE

The 2014 Monster Mini CDE takes place in Windsor, South Carolina. Begun as a fun event for the local mini drivers and enthusiasts, in its fifth year the show has begun to draw competitors from a broader and broader area. The show is organized expressly for minis, as the name implies, and this year added a small pony division. This division proved to be quite popular. Three four-in-hands of minis turned up this year, which was a hit with the spectators. Linda Willis ended up in the top spot with her four black and white minis.

Saturday was a bit hairy as lightning and thunder rolled in just as the Preliminary division was beginning. The organizers made the wise decision to cancel the remainder of the day and finish dressage and cones on Sunday. Sunday was sunny and everyone seemed happy to not be blowing away! The marathon was section E only and ran through a few of the farms in Windsor Trace, with the hazards on both Bev Lesher and Lisa Singer’s farms. The hazards at Monster Mini are decorated by the local driving enthusiasts and always prove interesting. This year featured sail boats and blow up beachy decor.

I took a ton of photos and am working on uploading them all. You can see them all on the Monster Mini page.

Poppy and Amigo | pet photography

Poppy and Amigo had a mini photo session to make Christmas cards. Poppy is not a huge fan of posing for photos. Unfortunately, for her she is so cute, I make her pose for me often. Amigo, on the other hand would pose for photos all day. He is my big baby and loves attention.

Merry Christmas everyone, and here is hoping for all the best in the coming year!

Aiken Dog Photography: Coaster and Rocky

Coaster and Rocky are two Portuguese Water Spaniels I had the opportunity to photograph at Full Gallop Farm in Aiken, South Carolina. Full Gallop made a beautiful backdrop to photograph these beautiful Aiken dogs. The dogs are owned by Russ and Ann Schurtz.

A few photos from the USEF Driver Training Clinic at Hermitage Farm outside Louisville, KY with instructors Michael Fruend and Peter Tischer. Drivers schooled dressage and cones over a three day period, with the clinic open to long listed drivers. Many of the drivers there were preparing for the USEF National Championships the following weekend, and others had up and coming horses. Click the small photos to go to full screen photos!
