The Joy of Eventing

Have you ever seen the facial expression of an equestrian concentrating on his dressage test? Have you ever looked into the eyes of a horseman focusing on his show jumping course? Have you ever experienced a rider seconds before he starts his cross country course and the joy you see in his eyes just before he crosses the finish line? Eventing, the ultimate test of a horse and rider combines all of it: dressage, show jumping and cross country for a rider and horse team in one competition. Photographer Anke van Wyk (www.germanpix.net) captured precious moments of this popular and fast growing equestrian sport for young and old. With her high-quality photo calendar she invites you on a twelve months visual tour to experience the riders' joy of eventing.
