Arena Eventing, Muirmill, Ayrshire, Horse Photography
Saturday was the first dry sunny day last week and perfect weather for the Arena Eventing at Muirmill. Laura and Lee (and all their helpers) have worked so hard to get the outdoor arena ready and build the cross country course on time for Saturday’s competition which attracted over 50 entries. It is fantastic to see Muirmill becoming a top class equestrian venue again. The cross country course looked so inviting that I spent the day wishing I could have a go. Hopefully there will be more Arena Eventing days at Muirmill as from all the feedback I heard on the day it was a huge success.
Here is a small selection of photographs from the day – there are over 400 on the client page on my website (go to Marian McNeil Photography client page – password is Muirmill) where you can order prints, framed prints or canvases.
I also now offer yard shoots and equine portrait sessions so of you would like more details please just contact me and we can discuss your ideas.

Dundonald Show, Ayrshire, April 2012
At the weekend I had the pleasure photographing Dundonald Show and the weather was kind!! Although the wind was cold and blustery the sun kept breaking through and it stayed dry which made everybody’s day so much more enjoyable. Dundonald Show attracts competitors from far and wide and has classes for a wide range of abilities and disciplines. It is so well organised and has a fantastic family atmosphere. Here is a small sample of photographs from the day. There are more on the client page of my website http://www.marianmcneilphotography.co.uk/clientarea – go to Dundonald Show and put in the password Dundonald.

TREC Scotland – Equine Event Photography, Scotland
When I get asked what kind of photographer I am, it makes me smile as to me I am a professional photographer and like to work on a variety of projects and I love what I do. One day I can be photographing a wedding, the next day a commercial shoot, the next day doing a newborn shoot etc etc. On Sunday I was an equine event photographer for a growing discipline in equine sport – TREC. So some might be wondering what TREC is -
TREC or ‘Technique De Randonnee Equestre De Competition’ (T.R.E.C) originated in France from around 1970. TREC is a fun riding competition usually consisting of three phases – orienteering on horseback (POR), Control of Paces (CoP) and a cross country obstacle course (PTV). The TREC competition involves using the skills and simulates the challenges that any rider may encounter out hacking. This can include opening gates, crossing bridges, jumping fallen logs, going through water, encountering low tree branches, as well as basic map reading.
If you want to find out more about TREC go to www.trecscotland.com. If you would like to find out more about Muirmill and any forthcoming events, visit their website at www.muirmillec.co.uk.
Here are just a few of the images taken on the day – there are more on the client gallery page of my website (password is TREC).
Laura’s horse demonstrating their style as they approach the controlled paces section! Laura demonstrating stickability!
Beauty was a superstar for her two riders who each tackled the course on her! Too cute for words.
This obstacle is where you must ask your horse to stand in in the inner circle whilst you retreat to the edge of the outer circle and the horse must remain stationery for 10 seconds – challenging in a competition arena – but this horse just looked so relaxed about it all.
Lianna and Holly had a TV crew filming them and the event for a forthcoming programme to be shown on BBC Alba – no pressure then!!
I just love this sequence of photographs as it shows that even the horses learn when to duck down for any overhead obstacles - even when tackled at a canter or gallop!!

Roz & James, Knock Castle, Crieff, Wedding Photography, Scotland
Roz and James planned an elegant wedding for family and friends at the beautiful Knock Castle in Crieff. I was first introduced to them by their wedding planner – Tracy from Eden Events. Tracy was an absolute pleasure to work with and worked very hard all day (and prior to the wedding day) to ensure that Roz and James had the wedding they had dreamed of without any of the stress. If you are even thinking that you might consider using a wedding planner, I would say give one a call and have a chat about all the different options that they can offer.
Roz, James and I first talked via Skype as they are based down south so when we met on the wedding day I felt like I had known them for ages. They are such a great couple and I hope these images bring back some happy memories of a fabulous day.

Cheryl & Craig, The Popinjay, Wedding Photography, Scotland
Cheryl and Craig were such fun from the first moment that I met them and I was delighted when they decided to book me for their wedding day. As you will see from the photographs below there was lots of laughter throughout the day. I hope you enjoy looking through these photographs and that they bring back lots of good memories.

The Black Mare, Horse Photography, Scotland
Although I specialise in Wedding and Portrait photography, when I get the opportunity to combine another great passion of mine – horses – with photography, I jump at it.
So let me show you what we got up to with “The Black Mare” – she is called Dikota, is 3 years old and is simply stunning.

Baby Jennifer, Session3, Portrait Photography Scotland
This is third session with Jennifer and she is over a year old now. And if you have seen the other sessions I shot with her you will see how much she has changed.
Part of the planning that goes into a baby session is to allow them enough time to relax and enjoy the interaction. Jennifer was fantastic and her personality is really starting to shine through. At one stage I suggested we put on some music for her to dance too and she loved that – even going over to the stereo to adjust the volume!!
Ruth and Gavin – I hope you enjoy looking at the photographs of your gorgeous daughter.
Please feel free to leave a comment for Ruth and Gavin.
“I am sure this fits on here? “
“I’ve got this great storybook….”
“It’s very funny…”
This reminded me of one of my favourite songs by Texas – with the line “She has a Halo, we really do adore her”
“Just going to call my friends”
