Hi everyone! Today I am going to share what I do to put the finishing touches on my horse and how to get great photos for an online horse show.
Before you get your horse tacked up, you should put a little extra effort into your grooming. Make your horse shine! You can use a little bit of shine polish, or show sheen on his coat. Just don't put it where your saddle will sit. And for his face,  I like to use Vaseline around his eyes and his muzzle for a really deep shine. I think it emphasizes these areas too, and looks really good!
Don't forget his mane, tail and hooves too.
And after he is all groomed, get him tacked up, and then it's time for your outfit. You just need to have a clean and neat appearance.  You don't have to wear a show coat, but if you have one you can. I decided to wear mine while holding Ethan. Give your boots a quick polish, put on your helmet and gloves and you are ready to go!
After you and your horse are ready, then you need to find a great spot for some photos. You want to  find a place that will give you a nice background, and also not cast too many shadows. The shadows isn't that big of a deal, but you will get a better photo if there aren't a lot of shadows in your face, in my opinion.
I am lucky to have my husband help me with the photography. But I have also used the timer feature on my camera when I am taking photos on my own.
The camera we use is a Nikon D3200. It is an entry level DSLR camera that takes great photos. But you can use whatever camera you have. You can even use your phone! Most phones today have really fantastic cameras built into them.
If you are lucky enough to have someone agree to taking your picture, have them get as many shots as they can so you will have more to work with when you start to edit the photos. And that is what we are going to be talking about on Wednesday!
