Interesting series. I like the shutter speeds you've used here.
Is this near Oulton Park ?

Hi Phil, you are spot on, its the Polo Grounds on A49 near Oulton Park. I live about a mile away from there and often watch the polo when they are playing at home. I take it you are familiar with the area?
I was trying to achieve a slow enough shutter speed to show the riders polo mallet swinging in an arc, as in shot 3, but still rendering a recognisable horse/rider. I used 1/20 sec for this one.
Cheers Barry
