Ponies charge for the finish line this afternoon on Omey Beach (near Clifden, Galway).The horse and jockey on the outside (red cap) just passed the horse and jockey in the centre (yellow cap) before the finish line. Unlike previous years, it didn’t rain at all during the event – in fact, the sun even broke from behind the clouds and graced us with an appearance. Imagine – the sun in early August!
One of the riders gets a bit of encouragement from an owner/parent/perhaps both at the Omey Races, held on Bank Holiday Monday (August 04 2008).
I hope to put a gallery up later in the week – until then, you’ll have to make do with the 2005 Omey Races and the 2006 Omey Races.
Great shots!
I’d love to have gone, but my we buried my cousin today. It was back home in Dublin, so I went up yesterday…
nice shots..
Sorry to hear that, Sean.
