Yesterday I covered my first event for the British Equestrian Federation which was the annual stallion show with about 60 of the top UK stallions in attendance.
Today I was contacted by the owner of a stallion called Master who is apparently rated seventh in the world and a big name in the dressage breeding industry. His owner is an Olympic rider and to cut a very long story short I am trading some shots from yesterday and a portrait shoot (for studbooks etc) in exchange for......
....wait for it....
....semen!

Jan has looked at this horse in the past to cover our mare but as it is a top stallion the prices are astronomical so she is very happy at the thought of our horse being inseminated by a world class stallion. When I suggested it to the owner I didn't think for a moment that they would entertain it but they want some new shots of the stallion and some of his progeny and I was in the right place at the right time!
