    I can imagine what happened, horses are pretty scarey creatures, scared off their own shadow, a great capture Joak, it was worth all the chaos to get this lovely shot, and there’s no calling the dogs back once the chase is on….....

    Nice pic Joak…and I know what you mean about fast dogs…we have a lurcher that caught a pheasant in flight from a standing start, it’s quite scary when you see how fast they can move. Anyway, back to the pic…moody and very St Andrews, captured the place well.
