This portrait was rendered from a photo I took one hot Sunday afternoon at a Dressage show. The class was Intermediate level and I had commented to my husband that so few riders were wearing their shadbellys due to the heat. Manes weren't braided with the white tape and it made for difficult photography. I was about to leave when this lady rode in for her test. She was a true diehard and rode that test as if it were the Olympics. Her salute was just a prelude to her perfection, and the picture stole my heart!
