Hello everyone...
Today I am on vacation to one of the most famous beaches in my province, this beach is the prima donna and the most visited. Incidentally today there is also a horseracing show held there, of course this is very interesting and unique where we usually see horseracing done in the arena, but this time they tried it on the beach. The track is only in the form of one lane and one direction, therefore, this horse race can be said to be a mini horserace. This event was certainly very lively and many visitors came to see it, even though this is mini horserace they only used 8 horses imported from various regions, but it was the festivities that made this event an exciting one.
I also tried to photograph them from a distance that is not too close of course, this is for my own safety. The sunset light also makes the shoot go smoothly, although I have to run around and jostle to get a good moment. The crowded place made it difficult for me to capture interesting moments because it was blocked by the people who packed the place, but with a little hard work I managed to get some photos of horse racing on the beach for today, and you can see them below.
The horsemen also consist of teenagers and there are even children, of course they have been well trained to tame and also ride horses. Yet the size of the horses they ride is five times larger than their own. They are also very adept at riding their horses, although sometimes their horses gallop uncontrollably, they can still control themselves so as not to fall off the horse.
The horse riders also come from various regions and some of them have won national level horse racing competitions, and they are really experienced.
Since the horses galloping so close to the audience was a slightly dangerous sight, moreover there were many children standing in the front row of the audience. Crowding of spectators is also caused by the narrow location, but many parties are tasked with securing so that the audience is safe.
The photos above I took in the afternoon and use a Cannon 1100D with the addition of a 70-300mm telephoto lens. Thank you and see you in the next post.
