All but the first few horseback photos (100-400mm lens) were all shot using my 28-75mm lens. The lighting conditions within a quarter turn changed quite a bit. The white tent tops were working like giant reflectors in some areas. I was trying to get close rather than zoom since I used the 70-200mm on the Friday night Grand Entry. There is a clear practical limit to how close one can get without creating a collision so zooming was necessary.
I hooked up with a self proclaimed photographer who told me shooting manually in this kind of setting is challenging. She decided to give it a try also even though she would normally use aperture priority for this. When we sat down and compared results after the Grand Entry was over and compared photos, mine came out better than hers although I still had quite a lot of over exposed photos.
