The second ECCG shoot of 2017 was at the Knockane track outside Killeagh where the Killeagh Harriers annual P2P meeting was held for the fourth consecutive year.  Blessed with dry weather and braving the cold elements and mucky conditions, the event was well supported and attracted a huge crowd from the local area. There were six races on the day with three to twenty-one horses competing in each race covering a 9 circuit course over a 3 mile  distance. The last race of the day saw 21 horses compete.

ECCG members were on hand suitably attired in wellingtons and warm clothing to capture some challenging equine sporting images. Some horses fell at the second and last fences in their pursuit of victory. Fortunately all riders walked away unscathed and horses survived the falls.

Some great images were captured on the day including the jockeys and horses in the parading area and jumping over the second and third fence up on the hill area of the track.

See a gallery of images from the event here. Enjoy!

The second ECCG shoot on 18/01/2015 was at the Knockane track outside Killeagh where the Killeagh Harriers annual P2P meeting was held for the third consecutive year. The weather conditions were ideal with bright sunny skies. Despite the cold element and mucky conditions the event was well supported and attracted a huge crowd from the local area. There were six races on the day with an average of 3 to 12 horses competing in each covering a 3 circuit course over a 3 mile distance. The last race of the day saw 24 horses compete the course but only 21 jockeys!
