Canon PowerShot SX100 IS is the camera that i want to buy, is it good enough to take pictures of horses jumpin

i'm a young girl who loves horses and i go to all horse shows taking pictures of them jumping, i want the best quality for my pictures as i want to be a proffesional photogrpher, is this a good camera? if you have this camera can you give me a link to see some pictures? or do you have any on flickr or something... i just want to know if it's a good quality camera and if it's good for taking pictures of moving objects. such as horses going really really fast, i want the details to be there and no bluriness. is the Canon PowerShot SX100 IS the right camera for me to use?

The camera is capable of capturing very high quality photos, but you may become frustrated with the shutter lag. It does give you control over the shutter speed, so you will be able to shoot at high enough shutter speeds to freeze the action (1/500th second or faster) and the 10x optical zoom will help you crop your shots in the cameras viewfinder..

You can over come shutter lag buy using the skills outlined in this link ...your only other choice would be to spend $500 and by a nice entry level DSLR camera.

It's a very nice camera that should work well for fast moving shots. The link below has a very in depth review with many different type photos from the camera. Scroll down to "shutter performance" and you'll see the fast motion shots.

These same people review lots of different cameras so if you want to look others up, they probably have them.
