It looks like she's a big gal, but she's actually a very tiny girl. the horses were small. a little bigger than ponies. She competed earlier this yr. they have to hit targets in boxes that are 1.5x1.5 ft while riding horses. three targets, three points. this round she got 2 of 3 targets. her horse was one of the more rambunctious ones and was probably one of the fastest.

equipment: Canon 7D, Sigma 120-400, shooting in shutter priority

Suggester says, "The woman's expression is very confident and concentrated on the target she's aiming. The tension can also clearly be seen by the public. The photographer has beautifully captured this tense atmosphere and motion, as well the moment itself. A great work."

Thanks. I'm getting ready to order this one for my wall. Seems like a lot of people like this shot more than any I've taken.

Could it be that this horse is a Hokkaido horse ? Those are said to be small, but I read somewhere they could almost go on par with Arabian horses on very short runs.
Again, fantastic image. This pair looks... aerial, their moves very fluid despite the apparent unbalance between rider and horse's sizes. and you captured their common determination and concentration perfectly. Your work makes "pictures of the floating world" all due honor

I couldn't answer your question. Most horses here in northern Japan are short and stocky. There are horses at the northern tip of Honshu that are completely wild and all of them are short and stocky.

Thank you much for the compliments.
