Great action shot! I like the detail in the
background which, for a change, is niceley
separated from the foreground by a slight
haze, as opposed to shooting with a narrow
depth of field.
It's a great shot to get the horses so
clearly but it lacks something for me. It
seems *too* clear - there's no sense of
motion. Perhaps if you'd have waited until
the horses were more level with you and then
followed them with your camera? That'd get a
motion blur of the background and emphasised
the fact that the horses were moving fast.

A surprising amount of depth-of-field for such a shot..
