Well... you own the shots...

BUT, you need a release to "make a profit" from the shots...

Most likely you will be selling the shot to the people in the show, so not much of a problem there...

If you want to sell a picture to the local paper, no problem there...

But if you want to sell to the general public, stock, on the web, or whatever you need a release. Or you invite a lawsuit from the person in the picture or the owner of the horse, using their likeliness without permission...

The gift of a CD is nice... but this may set a standard you may not want to want... they will always expect that if you are there they get the shots for free... and don't we all want to make money...

Good Luck...

I AM NO EXPERT, THIS IS JUST WHAT I KNOW TO BE CORRECT... with a gain of salt...

Thanks

Chris
