Quest Center: will have good photo journalism ops of horses and riders in action.  These horses may go to the

Olympics. They have interesting different breeds in pens around the perimeter and you can talk to the owners

who let you take photos, which are better without flash so the horses won’t spook.  Trish Place reported she

doesn’t know if theres a limit on lens size.  Not sure if seating is assigned.

which should be close-in and action packed.  Go on the N4C website for examples.
