Horseman Challenge help

I will be shooting a horseman challenge this Thursday. Its kind of like an obstacle course for horse and rider. Any tips on lighting the arena. I have shot rodeo and barrel races for years. But this looks way different. I will have action in many different directions. I'm thinking of bouncing the light off the ceiling. I have AB 1600, AB 800n white lighting 1600 and White lighting 3200. Any and all suggestions are welcome.

Any help?

4 4 strobes your best bet is one strobe in each corner of the building bounced off the ceiling. Basically its just pumping up the ambient via flash.

Thanks!That's kind of what I was thinking. Just wasn't sure if I was on the right track. I think I will put on the long throw reflectors. Depending on where the plugs are. I'm sure it will not have much ambient light most arenas around here have little.

You could probably do it with two, one on each side of the midline if you had too, but 4 would pretty much never be on the shadow side of your light.

Thanks
