The photographs in this post were taken on the first day of showing, on Saturday evening. It was bit of a novelty to attend an outdoors show which continued into the evening; however it was not entirely practical for the spectator as the light fell since there was no lighting available in the spectator areas. I do not use any flash lighting when I photograph horses or at shows and when I thought classes had ended I was pleased to think that I had not missed taking any photographs!

However as I walked away from the ring and past the collecting ring I saw one of my favourite showing circuit mares, Ladi Veronika, just ready to enter the ring. I had almost left without seeing the last class, and almost missed the sight of beautiful grey mares in dusky evening light.

And after the first day of the show finished, it was a lovely walk back through Menton from the beach side arena to the my hotel, where a cup of tea on the sea-side balcony waited and a quick look at my days work!
