World Cup Vegas Dressage Warm-ups

[Phyxius]

Bonjour!

Our plane's section engine wouldn't start and we ended up landing over an hour late in Vegas, so I missed the jumping warm-ups. I was in time for Dressage though and I have videos (my fire wire isn't working, but I'll post it when I get home) and pictures. I'm uploading a couple, but this is the first time I've used the laptop for photos and I'm not sure about brightness/color. I'll check them when I get home and edit them if needed, but I hope the colors are okay and that they're bright enough for you to see.

First though, bad news. Andreas Helgstrand and Blue Hors Matine of Denmark withdrew from the competition. I'm sure most of you saw the video of this excellent team from WEG. Brian (O'Connor) announced that they will both be fine.

These are photos from the balcony, of warm-ups.

Thanks for the photos! I'm soooo jealous, wish I was there. What a huge bummer about Matine, she is so brilliant.

And you're still annoying, sign it or shut up.

Are you going to be at any of the local shows in the next few months taking pictures??

 

[Phyxius]

I haven't been asked to yet, if you know of any shows without a photographer you can let me know and I'll contact the show manager. Or, if you'd like me to come out for just you, your barn, or your kids/friends just let me know!

Thanks!

Thanks!! It was a lot of fun, I took my mom since she can't really travel by herself and I made her walk all over the place, but we even got to ride the Gondala's at the Venetian, something I didn't do when I stayed there last year.

I have a blackmail picture of Vanessa that I'll print out and bring on Sunday if you'll be at Dianna's. :
