I was focussing on the riders leg - maybe one stop down would have brought thr horse's nose into focus?

I wish they built a dof indicator into the camera - at greater distance I need less dof cos the horse is side on, at closer distance I need more dof as the horse is more end on, so I have to juggle distance with aperture...

I know this doesnt necessarily jive with the full fat form of DOF theory. I always focus on the closest point of interest that I want in focus. I know that the theory says that 1/3 of DOF in front of focus point and 2/3 of DOF behind point of focus but ....... If I want to use the largest aperture and get best DOF then I put camera on a tripod and then I can actually make sure that any sway or movement on my part as photographer is removed from the equation. If you want to check this and to magnify this the get a macro lens and see how swaying just a little changes what is in focus.

Getting the lighting right helps too, gives the AF more detail to work with. Side lighting and back lighting are OK but then you need to be much more careful with the focusing, especially in brighter light, the contrast is greater.
