Horse jumping

I just realized that the Pet forum may be the most appropriate to post photos of horses/riders. I have posted in Critique and Sports but didnt get too many responses.

My daughter started lessons some time ago so I find myself shooting at this arena a lot. Wanted to get your input on these.

Please help me get better.

All shot with Canon T1i and 85mm 1.8.
Manual Mode
Exposure 0.002 sec (1/500)
Aperture f/2.0
ISO Speed 1600

I like the first one the best, I dont know why.

Mike,
I'm no expert by any means, heck I'm probably not even a middle of the road guy, but those are really good (in my opinion). Espcecially with a T1i and ISO 1600!!! Very sharp.
If you don't mind me asking, what post processing did you do, specifically sharpening and noise reduction.
Thanks,
Randall

Thank you Randall.
I use LR3 for all the adjustments (including NR) and then use PS to sharpen using a technique I learned on this forum. I believe the thread was named "Real Smart Sharpening". I will post the link later.
