This is an amazing and warming capture. I myself have been to race meets and your attitude is 100% correct. To see the jockey helping out is heart-warming. You have chosen a great angle that has enabled you to keep the background clear as well so brilliant work. Great to see this image in black and white as it adds emotion. The water coming from the bucket is 100% sharp and well captured. In fact the whole image is 100% sharp and technically perfect. This is a great and moving image that meets the brief perfectly. Horse care cannot be summed up better than in your image, showing not only stable hands look after the horse but the jockey/s as well. It is a beautiful moment that shows dedication to the welfare of a horse that has ran for us and got its needs met through 100% tender loving care as its reward. A very worthy winner, congratulations.

For this contest I am looking for your photos showing people caring for horses.  Your image can show any aspect of horse-care such as feeding, grooming or a horse being shod by a farrier.  Please only enter photos of people caring for horses, no photos of people riding horses or horses simply grazing in a field. Entries can be in colour or monochrome.  I look forward to seeing a variety of images showing different aspects of horse-care.

This image has great impact. The massive splash coming off the horse is amazing. I really like the way you have chosen to photograph this image from the other end of the horse as it has made a more interesting shot than normal when shot at the front end.

This is great image. You have not only captured the 2 children grooming in the foreground but another in the background, so well done. It is nice to see younger people grooming and getting involved in horse care. A well taken technically 100% nice image.

I really like this image. You have chosen a great angle to shoot at. I love the crop of the image as it shows the right amount of horse and not left any distractions. A very different image to take which is very interesting and well captured.

This is a lovely image that has captured one of the most captivating part of animal care. The moment when we help animals give birth to another wonderful creature. Despite the sheer size of horses, when we need to help they are so gentle. Here you show the sheer joy of helping a new life into the world.

I really like how you have focused in on the horse’s mouth and only the top of the bucket and the hand holding it. It enables the viewer to focus solely on the important part of this image. The horse getting its well earned drink. Though horse care is a wide ranging subject I feel that horses being given water after a race is one of the most crucial and warming ways to capture horse care. It shows 100% dedication to the horse’s welfare, especially after a long race. Also it looks a very hot day as the sun is shining so more important that the horse is given a good drink. The image is very well captured, composed and 100% sharp. Very well done for a fantastic image.
