On Saturday, August 9th I had the pleasure of being the official photographer for the Belgian Warmblood keuring here in AZ. The event took place at beautiful Los Cedros, which provided the perfect backdrop for just about every image.
Nearly 30 horses were inspected and the venue was just gorgeous. More on that below. There was only one stallion in attendance, but he made up for it! Many mare and foal pairs, some older mares, and three yearling were also shown.
The turnout was great, especially for a keuring or inspection, all the horses were lovely, and my homemade horse treats were a HUGE hit, as usual! The judges from Belgium were very sweet and extremely thorough. Owners, handlers, and riders did an amazing job, especially considering the heat, as did the event managers.
Thanks to my fabulous client, Heidi Risser, who invited me! Here are some of my favorite shots. More can be seen in the highlights slideshow here.
