Eventing riding

Have you ever observed the expression on a rider's face concentrating on his dressage test? Have you ever looked into the eyes of a rider who is focused on his jumping course? Have you ever seen a rider seconds before the cross-country ride and seen the joy in their eyes when they cross the finish line? Eventing, the ultimate test for horse and rider, combines all three disciplines: jumping, cross-country riding and dressage, which must be mastered in a competition by the horse-rider team. The photographer Anke van Wyk (www.germanpix.net) captured these special moments in this equestrian sport, which is becoming increasingly popular with young and old. With her high-quality photo calendar, the photographer invites you on a twelve-month visual journey around versatility.
