Here is the product review on the Canon Rebel t3i. This is the camera that I own and use every day. I absolutely love it!

Pros: 

- easy to use, not too many different confusing buttons with billions of purposes

- focuses really easily and also takes great action shots

- has a timer so it's great for using with a tripod

- the screen can flip and hide which is great at the barn to protect it

- not too big like a lot of the other good cameras 

- has the attachment for a tripod

- fits most SD cards

 - has built in filters that you can use

- takes video too

Cons: 

- sometimes when using the screen view to take pictures is takes a long time to focus

-pretty expensive

- sometimes it won't focus and I have to wait a little bit

-sometimes the flash turns on for no reason and blasts tons of light into the picture 

Other than that I really have nothing else to say, I love this camera so much. I take most of my photos with this and once in a while you get an iphone photo. Cassidy takes all of her photos with her iPhone. I have plenty more of hers but the watermark is hard to get on them. I will keep trying though. I hope you enjoyed this review! 

We may not have it all together, but together we have it all.

Thank you. 

Thank you for guarding my secrets.

Thank you for teaching me lessons my parents and teachers never could.

Thank you for being the best listener in the world. 

Thank you for helping me fly.

Thank you for helping me face my fears.

Thank you for making me smile.

Thank you for showing me hard work does pay off.

Thank you for being my best friend.

Thank you for being my horse.

If there ever comes a day when we can't be together, keep me in your heart, I'll stay there forever.

Do what you can with what you have and where you are. 

The grass isn't always greener on the other side, the grass is greener wherever you water it.

A bird sitting on a tree is never afraid of the branch breaking, because her trust is not on the branch but on it's own wings. Always believe in yourself. 

Enjoy the little things in life, one day you'll look back and realize they were the big things. 

When you stumble, make it a part of the dance. 

We will never have to tell our horse that we are sad, happy, confident, angry, or relaxed. He already knows. 

Because when you stop & look around, This life is pretty amazing. 

Life is a one time offer, use it well. 

Life is like a camera

Focus on what's important

Capture the good times

Develop from the negatives

And if things don't work out, 

Take another shot. 

Took more photos today! By tomorrow we should have some up for you all to see.

I'm editing more photos now! I am going to take more tomorrow and on Monday so be ready for some good ones!

You aren't just my horse, you are my life, my love, and my other half.

People often don't realize the value of a moment until it becomes a memory. 

Life's not the breaths you take, but the moments that take your breath away.

Yesterday is but today's memory, and tomorrow is today's dream. 

No heaven can be if my horse isn't there to welcome me. 

If I smell like peppermints: I was feeding my horse

If I smell like shampoo: I was bathing my horse

If I smell like poop: I tripped

Horses: If god made anything more beautiful he kept it for himself.

There is only 1 thing 2 do 3 words 4 you

I LOVE YOU

A true friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you forget the words. 

Don't take life so seriously, it's not like anyone gets out alive.

I took some more photos today! They came out great so I hope you guys like them

Can anyone believe this was taken with an iPhone? Great job Cassidy!

Again from the last show at 3 foot. Do you guys like the format/layout of our website? Or should we change it? Let us know in the comments below!

This photo was taken at the last show when Bella and I were doing the Pony Hunter 3 foot. I love this photo it's my desktop too. Tomorrow I will be going to the barn so expect some photos soon!

"What Do you Think" Wednesday

It's "What do you think?" Wednesday! It's a new thing I'm starting where every Wednesday I give a review on a product I have been using a lot recently (usually horse stuff since  it is an equestrian photography blog) and I will take requests in the comments every Wednesday on what I should do next week. This week I'll be doing the Kerrits riding pants

Pros:

- super comfortable and don't slip

- fit most sizes

- really cute designs

- no buttons or zippers to worry about

- don't get too hot in the summertime 

- fit under your tallboots

Cons: 

- kind of thin so they rip easily in some cases

- so pockets to put your phone when you are riding

- get dirty really quickly because the dirt doesn't wipe off like on some other pants

Overall: I love these pants to death and I wear them to riding practice every day. They are my favorites and I recommend getting them. They are less expensive than other riding pants and are great for practices. I hope you guys liked this review. Leave comments below on what I should do next week. 

Going out to take some more pictures this weekend after my basketball game on Saturday. I have some great ideas so be ready for some great pictures! Also if you have any ideas we could use those for the future so send them in. Check previous posts for our email and send them through that

PCHA banquet

There isn't a watermark on this photo but it is from the PCHA banquet yesterday which was great. I got 5 grand champions including the Pony medal. That is what the blanket is from. Each trophy is from a grand champion except for the PCHA medal. Then I got a fourth place in the Pony Equitation and Reserve Champion in the Pony Hunter. Finally, i won High pt. jr. Rider and the $1000 scholarship. Oh! And with the grand and reserve champion ribbons came gift certificates to Tenney's Saddlery! Congratulations to everyone and I will see you at this year's PCHA circuit!

Sorry there hasn't been much activity lately! School gets back tomorrow and we have been insanely busy. 

Good night everyone! Will post more tomorrow

This is from yesterday. I rode her bareback today and it was so much fun, we had a great time but now my legs are super sore. 

Does anyone else love coffee? I could really use some right now. I am so excited for the banquet tomorrow! It's for the end of the PCHA circuit for this past year. Sadly it's the last one I'll be attending because now I'm moving to CFHJA into the Pony Hunter division. 

I'm not ready for school to start again. I can't believe some schools have already started, I get back in on the sixth.

Had a great lesson yesterday! I finished editing those photos I promised. There are a lot so I'm only going to post 2 or 3 today. 

Sorry that we haven't been posting! I (Victoria) have been getting ready for a Horse show banquet this weekend, and Cassidy is still having trouble accessing the website. But I am editing more photos right now and will post a few as soon as I'm done.
