Rockingham Park

Rockingham Park in Salem, NH features harness racing. They race trotting or pacing Standardbred horses hooked up to small carts apposed to galloping Thoroughbreds with their typical saddle riders. The Standardbred was developed in America and has a strong build and a good character. The races are one after the other at the Park so there's not too much down time and bets are taken inside. The horses look like they are not overworked which is important to me and they are just a ball to watch. I love them! Their names kill me too: "He's a Player", "Ask for Bliss, "Frankly Fit", and my favorite "Aim for the Stars".

The photos below were taken with my film BlackSlim Devil camera.
