I really like the thid one, but I think it would be better if you could have framed it so you could eliminate all the grass background. Easy to say after the event I know (and maybe not possible).

Have you thought of cropping tighter to remove the green ?

The horse was moving its head too much to effectively frame the background.

Yes, I have tried a crop, which I though was better, however I decided to post the origonal for comment. I also also decided that the shape of the back of the horse could add something to the picture, perhaps I was wrong in that though!

The first two looks a bit overexposed, not really my thing tbh

I would also like to see the crop of the third photo, the rear end of the horse doesn't do a thing for me and it's to blurry to make out anything sensable out of it.

I like the composition of the first one, but as Stephan says, it looks a little over-exposed ( IMHO )
