A show jumping arena is a place of color, atmosphere, and spectacle, where competition between the world's top horse and rider partnerships is tough, and only the very best reap the high rewards. Elizabeth Furth has selected a dramatic collection of images that reflect the mood, the athleticism, and the ceremony in show jumping today, with a unique look at the often-neglected subject of course design.Featuring a wealth of action photography from every international show ground that has hosted championship and Olympic events, "Visions of Showing Jumping" captures the sport from every angle, from preparation to presentation. Captions and anecdotes from international riders provide the perfect complement to the stunning photographs.
