The international sport of three day eventing is the ultimate test of horse and rider, providing a thrilling spectacle in whatever country of the world it is staged. Riders and their horses display their versatility, stamina and courage over testing courses in magnificent settings, drawing huge and appreciative crowds by their skill and brilliance. Internationally acclaimed photographer, Elizabeth Furth has selected an unforgettable collection of images reflecting the atmosphere as well as the athleticism, drama and excitement of the three day event. Top riders have added a commentary to each photograph, describing their feelings, their technique or their difficulties at that particular moment or event. Insights into riding and training technique, mental attitude and the special relationship between horse and rider are discussed, and various aspect of eventing are covered such as course designing for cross country and show jumping, and the judging of dressage. Elizabeth Furth views the world of the three day event from every angle, from preparation to the award ceremony, showing leading international combinations in action at major venues including the World Championships and Olympic Games. The ability to capture mood and fine detail, plus the sheer brilliance of her action photography confirm her as one of the world's leading equestrian sport photographers.
Acerca del autor: Visions of Eventing will captivate everyone with an interest in competitive sports at any level. It is a unique record of the three day event and the horses and riders who excel in this exacting and enthralling discipline. Elizabeth Furth was born in Austria and came to England in 1985 to pursue a career in photography after a back injury forced her to give up riding. Since then she has travelled the world photographing events and on special assignments for prestigious publications such as Horse & Hound, Horse International, Show Jumping, Dressage, Riding, Eventing, The Field, Reiter Revue (Germany), Pferde Revue (Austria), L'Eperon (France) Kavallo (Switzerland), Lo Sperone (Italy), and The Horse Magazine (Australia). Her work is used extensively to illustrate books and for public relations, advertising and television purposes. Fluent in both French and German, she also acts as commentator and voice-over artist for television and video. Elizabeth Furth's photographs are widely regarded as some of the finest in equestrian sport. The distinctive quality of her work is due to exquisite timing and a natural ability to portray the horse in action, as well as being able to capture a mood or the atmosphere of a grand occasion.
