[QUOTE="Joseph Bautsch, post: 4626, member: 654"] Yea, I know about the wife thing. Mine can most always tell me how much $ I have in my pocket at any given moment. It's always been my understanding that a bright light like a flash is not in the bag of fears for animals. I've shot rodeos in the past using flash and never given it much thought. I've never gotten any complaints from the riders. I'm certainly not the authority on the subject. If we have wildlife photographers and/or photographers with more experience in that area maybe they can join in the conversation. The shutter speed sweet spot would be at least 1/500 sec. That would probably be total freeze. But not practical for your shooting situation. From there it will depend on how much motion can you live with. To me having some motion blurring in the horses legs and hooves would not be objectionable. It would add to the sense of forward motion and speed. At 1/250 sec. you should still get good freeze shots with little or no motion. At 1/125 sec. you will see more motion and of course slower than that even more. It also depends on the motion of the horse and how fast they are moving at the time. Given the current conditions I would try to get the shutter speed up to at least 1/125 sec.
