Sophie won the National Side Saddle Show entry to the Horse of the Year Show at Addington and we had a photo shoot immediately after the competition. I have place Sophie and Ted on the lawn in front of the outside arenas. I was inspired by the work of Sir Alfred Munnings and used his free, loose painterly style on the background. I still like my own tight technique for the subjects and I think the styles complement each other in this painting. It was an absolute joy to paint, I loved every minute of it.
