  1. A Leg-up at Dawstown

    The man in the blue jacket has both hands on the jockey’s left boot, mid heave, and number 37 is halfway between earth and saddle. It’s neither one place nor the other. I love the awkward physics of a leg-up. It looks ungainly until you remember it’s the only sensible way to...

  6. A Leg-up at Dawstown

    The man in the blue jacket has both hands on the jockey's left boot, mid heave, and number 37 is halfway between earth and saddle. It's neither one place nor the other. I love the awkward physics of a leg-up. It looks ungainly until you remember it's the only sensible way to get a small, light human onto an animal that tall without a mounting block. I have no idea how this jockey and horse did on the day. The photo is from 2024.

  15. Flying Hooves at Dawstown Point to Point

    A few of the photos I took today at the Dawstown Point to Point. We’ve been very lucky in the last few years that the weather has been good when these races were held!

  16. Ready to race

    After the horses parade, the jockeys mount their horses for the coming race. Ice cream is always popular, even on a cold hilltop on race day. :)

  17. Bunched up at Dawstown

    I attended the point to point horse racing this afternoon at Dawstown, Co. Cork, with others from Blarney Photography Club. We were lucky with the weather, even if it did become cold later on.

    There was a good crowd there, and I recognised some faces from last year. If the shouting from the crowd is anything to go, they enjoyed the day too!

  19. A Jack Russell lying in the shade at the recent Dawstown Point-to-Point horse racing. It was warm, and the sun was bright, so he made a beeline for the shade afforded by his human dad standing nearby.
