Rolex Kentucky 2011 was great again this year! The weather held out for the weekend and was wonderful. After many, many hours of work and pumping the Cross-Country course on Saturday was perfect.
Mary King took not only First Place with Kings Temptress but she also rode to Second Place on Fernhill Urco! What an accomplishment!

The Glass Horse Sculpture - Alltech Experience Pavilion at WEG 2010 Kentucky, USA
The beautiful life sized artwork by Mark Payton is made from scientific-grade glass and aluminum. I was spellbound by the gorgeous piece as I entered the pavilion. I would love to have one of these in my living room, yes, it's made for a large piece like that with a one and a half story ceiling.
The horse has now been taken apart by Mark and will be modified and reassembled as two horses facing away from each other with a DNA helix ajoining them. It will be displayed at Alltech headquarters by mid-November.

WEG - World Equestrian Games 2010 at The Kentucky Horse Park
Friday, the day before the Opening Ceremonies, I had the chance to stroll around the park and photograph. Here is what I found. A company from California, Scripps Shows, has these amazing brightly coloured circus animals that are going to be a part of the Opening Ceremony tonight and some a part of the Closing Ceremonies!
The entrance to the grounds is just breathtaking…as you enter the gates by the lake you’ll look over the water and see a Land Rover, one of the sponsors for the games, floating in the lake. Behind that…which you will probably notice much sooner than the Land Rover floating on water is an amazing work of art that covers the back and sides of the metal seating on the South side of the Alltech Arena. There is also another one on the back of the West seating. They are breathable and almost see-thru as you get closer to them, but as you can see from my images, when you are back away from them they are amazing photography pieces!

Spring time in Kentucky!
As the days get warmer and the grass a little greener everyday, here in Kentucky everyone is getting geared up and ready for numerous equine events and happenings here in the Bluegrass. Whether that is Thoroughbred Racing, Hunter/Jumping or Cross Country, Foxhunting, trail riding or many of the other discipline or breed choices. Not all competitors have 'seasonal' showing like others such as the Walking Horse or Mountain Horse groups do. For these eventers competing is year round. The local KHJA events here in Kentucky are many. Lakeside Arena has monthly KHJA Schooling shows and also Winter Series 'A' and 'B' Rated shows. Masterson Station and many farms hold their own shows and events. One any given weekend during the spring or summer in Kentucky there will be at least 5 different shows of different breeds and disciplines all over the state.
What I and many, many other equine enthusiasts look especially forward to every year is the Rolex Kentucky 3 Day Event held at the Kentucky Horse Park. Here are the photos I took last year at this event. I hope to enjoy many more years at this amazing event!

White Horse Studios Weddings
White Horse Studios brings elite, artistic and elegant wedding photography to the Bluegrass. I travel nationwide for your special destination weddings.
Women and horses have been main subjects of mine for a very long time and just continues to grow and blossom for me. Whenever I point my lens at either, a spark ignites and something magical just happens. Brides radiate a beautiful and glowing presence on their wedding day like no other day. To be present to capture all of the nuances of a wedding day is an immense responsibility and treasure that I do not take lightly.
Photography started as a deep passion for me as a young girl, I was allowed to carry around my mother's Yashica 35mm camera and shoot whatever I wished as long as I didn't take it horseback riding. I continued that love of photography and art as I grew into a young adult and melded my artistic abilities with the amazing horses in my life. I attended Eastern Kentucky University from 1994 to 1998 for a Bachelors Degree in Art with an empasis in Photography. I have over 32 years of photography experience. I attend workshops and classes by world renowned photographers all over the country and online several times yearly to continue to hone my artistic skills and learn new technologies.
