Shot by Tom Roets on July 8, 2007 in Mooresville, North Carolina, during the Gable Horsemanship's Advanced Rider Program with trainer Matt Gable. Pictured are students James & his daughter Carly, Jamie and her husband Tim, Diane, and Lori along with Matt and his fiance Jessica, who assists with the program

It was an EXTREMELY hot, dry, dusty day -- as a result the ultra bright light and billowing dust were unavoidable... but through them you can see the perservence of the horses, students and teachers
