Photographing AQHANZ Nationals at NEC Taupo was a totally immersive experience for me.
Western riding & quarter horses have been a passion of mine for a long time but being surrounded with this calibre of talent & breeding was next level.
The horsemanship & comradeship of the individuals who make AQHANZ what it is today was deeply inspiring - a true community coming together to celebrate one thing - the strength, beauty & versatility of the Quarter Horse.
Over the course of the show I held mini photoshoots each morning & evening. The photos below are my favourites from each session- believe me, it was hard to pick!
