The “Hammock” had been sitting on course taunting us all during the first horse trials of the year at Pine Top. Spectators found good use for it as an elevated viewing area, but we anxiously awaited the day it would be jumped in competition.
Beautifully constructed by course builder Rob Mobley and accented with sweet flowers, the Hammock appeared on the Advanced course this past weekend as fence 17.
Eileen Dimond, who has been a photographer for Hoofclix.com since 2007, was stationed at this fence and took the lovely photos featured in this edition of “Who Jumped It Best.”
“It is such a beautiful jump and yet appears so massive from the ground,” Eileen said. “But despite the size, all the horses and riders appeared to relish it. Everyone just attacked it and jumped it beautifully.”
Which makes your job of deciding who jumped it best all the more difficult. It was tough enough choosing a handful of photos to present to you here, so put on your George Morris hats and get to it. Good luck!
