Whilst I was wandering around the @hicksteadevents grounds one morning a rider saw my camera and asked if I could take some pictures of her and her horse as he could have potentially been purchased the next day. She had such a wonderful relationship with this horse and regarded him as her 'best horse' so I was only too happy to oblige. Here is one of my favourites! www.rachaelbannisterphotography.co.uk #equine #equestrian #rider #riding #kingsland #horse #friendship #bond #hickstead

This summer I applied for an internship role at Hickstead with their press office and I was successful! It was a truly wonderful experience, I've always wanted to go to Hickstead and what a way to go! I was right in with all the action, got to meet so many famous equestrians and made great contacts (such as Alexanders horseboxes, Falcon Equine Feeds, LIKIT & British Grooms Magazine). I would definitely recommend this role to anyone interested in getting some real expeirence if you're interested in equestrian photography, you will be able to apply for the role in 2015! www.rachaelbannisterphotography.co.uk  Photos taken by: http://www.julianportch.com/

For the third year in a row I have covered the Trawden and District agricultural show. Usually we are blessed with really good weather but the 2014 show was hit by torrential rain and wind, not ideal for photography or competing! I am very glad that this didn't dampen the spirits of some of the competitors in the equestrian section who pushed through despite the weather.  Here is a soggy pony.  www.rachaelbannisterphotography.co.uk
