We took an embarrassingly high number of photos this past weekend at Life's a Ride Equestrian Center. That's what I get for leaving my camera on high speed most of the weekend. It's a rainy day today so that means I don't feel quite as guilty for sitting on the couch most of the day and working on photos. I'm almost finished sorting and then I will be getting the pre-ordered galleries out first (make sure you guys read the text in your emails). If you signed up to have your photos posted, you will get an email with the link as soon as yours are posted. As always, check back here for updates!
