Japaloupee Equestrian Center !!!

I keep visiting my hometown once a month. so, after visiting my hometown for Uttrayan (13th to 16th Jan), I was to visit it on 12th and 13th Feb just for a weekend. But, then I got a chance to shoot something different which I have never clicked - some events on horseback. Yes, I got a chance to officially shoot annual Equestrian games at "Japalouppe Equestrian Center" at Talegaon (www.japalouppe.net) which is around 40 kms from Pune. I canceled my trip to Surat and went for the shoot.

It was a whole different experience. I have never done sports or motion or panning photography before and this was my first trial. There were events like horse relay race and horse jumping. The most surprising thing of the event was there were some participants who were just 7-8 years old boys and girls.
