derps (or how not to photograph Breyers and others)
Adding practical effects is simple but not as easy as it looks. You can fling handfuls of sand or small buckets of water at the horse's feet to make the effect of him kicking up sand or water.

There's a lot of shots where the flying stuff isn't in the right place at the right time.
If you can shanghai a friend to either fling stuff or press the shutter, it helps.
