Andi Amu, Steeplechase Racehorse Champion Photo Slide Show Tribute

Описание: I'm in the planning stages of a grand adventure, but before I start out the door, I have a couple of slide shows to upload. You could call this a test of my new hobby, but it's also a part of what I've been doing all my life, and one of the subjects I hope to cover.

This first slide show is my tribute to Andi Amu, one of the horses I was in charge of while working with my friend Leslie. Leslie trained steeplechase horses as a part of a team with her husband Paddy, who was a succesful jockey. When paddy sustained a life-alterating accident it left Leslie to carry on training by herself, all the while being a mom raising 2 pre-teen children. It was then that I joined her team for the following year while she concentrated on more important things.

During his racing career, Andi Amu won multipul stake races and almost $600,000 in earnings and was voted timber horse of the year in 2019 & 2021. He has now been retired to the Kentucky Horse Park, the first steeplechase horse to earn a place there.

Here's a link to the horse park. If you're planning a visit, be sure to say hello to him, but a word of caution, he can be a bit cheeky.

If you enjoy this slide show, let me know. I've really enjoyed doing them and am only now starting to share them with those outside of my circle of friends. (I am the photographer for all photographs and hold the copywrite for all. They cannot be used without my written permission.)
