Running of the Horses at Glenworth Valley.
Sunday 5th November 2023
A private and exclusive “Running of the Horses” photography shoot at Glenworth Valley.
General
This is an early morning shoot just after sunrise. The horses cross Popran Creek a total of three times, once towards the homestead, after which they will be turned around to re-cross the creek back to the paddock they came from. Their final crossing will be back towards the homestead where they will continue up to the horse yards to be saddled and prepared for work that day.
You will need to move quickly between crossings, to re position yourself ready for the next crossing. The staff will clearly explain this to us on the day. There`s also a nearby bridge to cross the creek. Photographers may position themselves in the creek or on the embankment. No matter where you are located, each vantage point provides unique and beautiful results. Glenworth Valley staff will guide you on the day as to a safe standing distance away from the horses. There will usually be a herd of up to 200 horses which
are controlled by two experienced riders dressed in stockmen`s clothing.
Portrait & Action options included
The two experienced riders will then offer additional action shots on horseback crossing the creek. They will repeat the crossing several times depending on the requirements of our group. These action shots are a real highlight to the event. The riders are more than happy to oblige with some still shot opportunities as well. After this your welcome to take shots of the horses being saddled and prepared for the day.
There is no included breakfast for this shoot on the day. Suggest you bring your own hot drinks and snacks to have in the Glenworth Valley carpark after the shoot. You`ll also need to arrive at the Glenworth Valley carpark by 5.30am. Further details after booking.
