05/22/2026

📸🐎 Photos from the Spring Gulch Horse Trial are now online and ready for viewing/purchase!

My team and I had such a great time capturing your Dressage and Cross Country phases this weekend. The backdrop at Spring Gulch was absolutely phenomenal, and it made for some truly beautiful moments. ✨

A huge thank-you to show management for having us, and endless appreciation to Susan Sheldon Photography and Brit Images for all of their hard work helping capture every ride through both sunshine and rain! 💛

We hope you enjoy reliving your weekend through these images as much as we enjoyed photographing them.
