Eventing at Horseheath - Experiments in Shutterspeed

This is the second year that Horseheath has held Eventing. It is a very open and friendly event. I decided to experiment with shutterspeed as I do like images that show movement and particularly water spray. The first five pictures are taken at 1/1000th, 1/250th, 1/160th. 1/125th and 1/60th (also sixth photo). Show jumping and Dressage both 1/1000th. The slow 1/60th shutterspeed gave the sort of image I was looking for but the hit rate is very low indeed and difficult to control the highlights. 1/125th is probably the safest for panned shots so will try this also at the water jump.
