I managed a day (Sat) at the Horse fair at Appleby in Cumbria. It Was hot and sunny, and there was more than horse washing going on in the river Eden.............

Hi Bill,
The well captured movement adds to the drama in this shot. Absolute superb shot and deserves more credit sir.

Super action. Not sure I'd want to be in there with the horse though.
Kevin
Love the action and atmosphere in this. So what else was going on in the river then?!

Thanks Everyone for your kind comments. Well Steve there was this for a start!! The Romanies have been coming here for centuries to trade horses and they wash them in the middle of the town in the river Eden, Fairy liquid seems the favourite shampoo. Now try riding a well soaped horse bare back in a crowded river, Quite a recipe for fun on a hot day.....
Superb, one of the best shots from Appleby I've seen.
Absolutely tremendous Bill. Great timing. Sorry We missed you. I was there on the Friday and witnessed a horse being drownned is the same spot as you are. That finished all activity for the day.
I think this is one of your best ever photographs.

Fab! great movement and ace choice of horse for such a picture - the colours work really well!
