I finally got some time to select some Horseball photos! I'll be posting them for the following days...
A girl in the heating up phase...
... discussing the game strategy...
Goall!!!!
... and a characteristic photo of the players after they have scored, or tried to score... everyone looking up!
I actually got so into photographing the game that I didn't notice what was right in front of me... this is not the only shot in which the gray horse appears to have a left blind eye. It's amazing that he is out in the field giving everything with the others!!!
And a "ramassage" moment. I have to try this sometime :-)

I love photographing Horseball (can you tell?) because the action moments are more than many, and I love experimenting with new (if somewhat risky) angles. I was standing at the place where they usually go after scoring a goal... or trying. It was worth it, wasn't it? :-)

Well, I've had some requests for Horseball pictures from some people who are just plain curious to see them, so here's a small preview! I'm sorry, just can't find the time lately... I hope they're worth the wait ;-) For those who aren't familiar with the sport, it's a sort of basketball played on horses! Of course, you don't dribble, and if the ball falls, you're supposed to pick it up while you're on the horse - that's called the "ramassage" (shown in this photo).
