Years ago I had contacted the Missoula Equestrian Park, to
find out about shooting photos at their events. The response I got was
basically, “sure, go ahead”. I did go to a few of their events but nothing
panned out, so I bagged it.
This past weekend, I looked them up again online, only to
discover that their website has been changed from Missoula Equestrian Park, to
Missoula Equestrian Club.
Hmmm… I took a shot and contacted
them again. I received a reply the very same day from Rachel,
who is the secretary of the club. Her reply was as follows:
“Good
Morning Vicki,
I looked at
your website - your work is beautiful - very excited you want to come
photograph
our equestrians! Please see BSHP calendar for all event dates.
For the
Mini's and the CMR shows - packets are given out to all who enter. I'd
suggest you
provide fliers for us to include in the packets, as well as display at
the show office, or even a banner too if you have
one.
The BSHP (Big
Sky Horse Park), Board is happy to put a link from their website
to yours to
promote your service, and asks that in return, you provide 5-6 digital
images to
the Park, per event shot, for promotional purposes. These shots will of
course
include your photo credit.
I've cc'd
all the other BSHP show managers so that they can contact you for their
specific
events.
Thanks so
much for reaching out to us - look forward to seeing you this Spring!”
WOW! This is very
exciting news! I’ve checked out their
website before, and they usually have at least two events per month. If it all
pans out, this could turn out to be a very lucrative contact!
Originally my thought was to go back to work full time in
the winter, but if I can find other events during the winter months I would make it permanent. Maybe I would just go back full
time between Thanksgiving and Christmas…
four weeks of chaos. I could handle that. Maybe…
