Equestrian event & show photography

Still & Saddle covers showjumping, dressage, eventing and showing for riders, owners and organisers. Coverage is commissioned in advance, so the day is planned around the classes and horses that matter to you.

For riders and owners

One horse or a whole string

Book coverage of your horse for a class, a day or a whole championship. The images follow the full story, not just the round itself.

  • Working-in, ringside and stable-side moments
  • The round or test itself
  • Prize-giving and the people behind the horse
  • Images for owners, sponsors and social media

For organisers

Official show coverage

Organisers can commission official coverage of a show or championship, planned around your timetable and the classes you most need covered.

  • Coverage planned around your schedule of classes
  • Winners, presentations and sponsor moments
  • Images supplied for press and sponsors
  • A library of images for next season's promotion

Disciplines

From the working-in to the prize-giving

  1. Showjumping

    The take-off, the shape over the fence and the look between horse and rider on landing.

  2. Dressage

    Movements photographed at the right moment of the stride, with the horse soft and uphill.

  3. Eventing

    All three phases, from the first halt at X to the last fence across country.

  4. Showing

    Stood up, on the go-round and in the line-up, with turnout shown at its best.

The commission

How show coverage works

  1. Before the show

    Tell us the show, the date and the classes you are entered in. We confirm availability and agree what you would like covered.

  2. On the day

    We follow your horse through the day, working quietly around the warm-up and the ring so nothing gets in the way of your riding.

  3. Your images

    You receive a private online gallery of finished images, ready for prints, owners, sponsors and social media.

Questions

Before you enquire

Do I need to book before the show?

Yes. Coverage is commissioned in advance so the day can be planned around your classes. Get in touch as soon as you have your entries.

Can you cover more than one horse or rider?

Yes. Coverage can follow one horse, a family or a whole yard through the day.

Which shows do you cover?

Shows across the Midlands, and further afield by arrangement. Tell us the venue and date and we will confirm availability.
