Arena hires provide great opportunities to capture incredible action shots of you and your equine partner away from the stress of a competition environment. I recently photographed an indoor arena hire at Moulton College Equestrian Centre, and here are just a few of the results.

When not in use by the college’s students, for competitions or clinics, it is possible to hire out the indoor arena.

Imogen and Gordy, Grace and Nancy, Sammy Grace and Rocky and Amiee and Billy did just that, and I was there to photograph the session.

Moulton College Equestrian Centre had hosted an unaffiliated show jumping competition the day before, and, as the course was still set out, full use was made of that.

Talented and highly-experienced equestrian Chloe Alibone orchestrated proceedings and ensured that was a solid structure to things while offering encouragement and advice to those riding.
