Just a very quick update to say things have moved along quite quickly (and unexpectedly) in the last few weeks!  I now photograph unaffiliated showjumping at Onley Grounds Equestrian Complex, and I’m also a British Showjumping accredited photographer.

Onley Grounds Equestrian Complex – Unaffiliated Showjumping

I was offered the opportunity to start photographing unaffiliated showjumping events at Onley Grounds Equestrian Complex.  Whilst very grateful for the offer, I initially feared it would be too far away to be viable (50 mins each way, 80 mile round-trip from here).

I decided to give it a go for the stay-away Onley Grounds Unaffiliated Showjumping League weekend, where entries looked decent, and it went pretty well.

British Showjumping Photographer Accreditation

In fact, it’s all been looking so promising that I now have official British Showjumping Photographer Accreditation to cover BS events.  I’ve already done two at Onley (including a three-day show) and will fill in gaps at other BS shows there when a photographer otherwise would not be present.

Equine Show Galleries Link

I know lots of you have been struggling to find the galleries from the equine events I have covered, either through not being on Facebook or the link not being obvious here. 

As such, I’ve added a new dedicated Equine Show & Client Galleries link directly to Photodeck.  Hopefully this should make life easier!  😊

UPDATE FEB 2026:  Please note the link above has changed.  My new gallery provider for 2026 is Photodeck.  

*Some* 2025 show galleries can still be found on Pixieset, but please note these will gradually disappear as I need to make space for my non-equine commissions.

Purchasing from Equine Show Galleries

For those of you not familiar with how I operate, these are edit-on-demand galleries. When you commit to purchasing images, you will immediately receive a Pixieset download link to the UNedited versions of them. As time permits, I will get your images edited and emailed to you from my Gmail address (karladrage@gmail.com).

Where space allows, I do include crop variations with what I send to you, at no additional cost.

Please do not be put off by dark images. You will be amazed by what can be achieved in Photoshop!

If the light is really awkward, I will also include black and white edits.

Hopefully everything is straight forward, but if you do have any problems, please let me know!

Thanks for your Support

My attendance at these events only remains viable while people are purchasing images, so your support genuinely is greatly appreciated!  Thank you!
