I shot this event last year as well, which I truly enjoy despite the fact I get up at 2:45am to start the trek across the state to get there in time 
. This is the American Hanoverian Society inspections held at the St. Louis Equestrian Center – this annual event (part of a national tour) is an important part of the process of registering foals as well as inspecting mares and stallions for approval and conducting performance tests. It is very interesting to watch, let alone photograph!
