Leanjo’s Favourite: ‘Slowmotion happiness’

Many of the photographs we take at national and international equestrian events can be seen in our articles and social media posts. But sometimes a photo deserves a little more attention, either because the beauty of the shot, the importance of the moment captured or simply because it made us laugh! After sharing Dirk Caremans’ selection of favourite photos he took during the Tokyo Olympics, we thought it’d be fun to continue the series… and share with you our very favourite photos taken throughout the year!

Leanjo’s pick of today are his photos of the incredibly happy Spanish rider José Antonio Garcia Mena and his eleven-year-old chestnut Hannoverian mare Divina Royal (v. Desperados) leaving the ring after their test. Capturing their happiness in slowmotion gives awesome photos… but also really funny ones!
