Here I am riding with the "gallery" at the Field Trial. The plantation owner let me borrow one of his Tennessee Walkers. That was one of the nicest horses I've ever ridden in my life! Four hours in the saddle (when I haven't ridden in a while) and not a bit sore the next day! A few minutes after this photograph was taken, the president of the club, knowing I was there to take reference photographs for upcoming paintings, invited me to ride behind the judges in front of the gallery. What a treat!
