Thank you,
Sydney.

A huge thank you to Sydney of SJ Photography for joining us at this year’s Leicestershire County Show and capturing so many wonderful moments across the weekend.

Sydney is pursuing her ambition to become an equine photographer, and we were delighted to welcome her to the show to develop her skills. We’re grateful for the time, enthusiasm and care she put into her photography, and delighted to share a selection of her work.

With thanks from all of us at the Leicestershire County Show
