Mr. Quigley Photography has been CMSA's Official Photographer for 25 years. Mark Quigley loves to be behind the camera, but never in the spotlight. Consequently, he modestly retired from CMSA events after the completion of the 2025 Scharbauer CMSA World Championship. Help us give appreciation to Mr. Quigley and give a warm CMSA welcome to David Thomas with Spirit of a Cowboy Images as the NEW OFFICIAL PHOTOGRAPHER OF CMSA!

David Thomas – CMSA Official Photographer
Spirit of a Cowboy Images

David Thomas is a dedicated equine and Western lifestyle photographer and the owner of Spirit of a Cowboy Images. With a genuine connection to cowboy culture and a passion for preserving meaningful moments, David combines artistry, authenticity, and technical skill to capture the heart of Cowboy Mounted Shooting.

In 2025, David worked alongside longtime CMSA photographer Mark Quigley, photographing three CMSA Championship Events while learning CMSA’s photography workflows, media expectations, and organizational needs. During this time, he developed strong relationships within the CMSA community and earned a deep appreciation for the riders, families, and horses who make the sport special.

Growing up on a small farm in Walla Walla, Washington shaped David’s respect for the Western lifestyle and the people who live it. Today, he continues that connection through his work, documenting mounted shooting events and Western culture across the country.

As CMSA’s Official Photographer, David is committed to carrying forward a tradition of excellence, supporting CMSA with professional and consistent event coverage, and visually telling the story of this incredible sport and its community for years to come.Mr. Quigley Photography has been CMSA's Official Photographer for 25 years.

We want to give thanks and recognition to Speedy's T's & More, LLC for their support and commitment over the last 15 years! Although they will be missed, they will always have a place in the CMSA family.A heartfelt THANK YOU from Speedy's T's & More, LLC

After almost 15 incredible years, Speedy's T's will be stepping away as the OFFICIAL MERCHANDISER for the Cowboy Mounted Shooting Association.

This decision wasn't easy. CMSA has been such a big part of our lives for nearly 15 years, and the people-riders, families, staff and other sponsors- are truly what made this journey so special. We've shared countless miles, long days, big events, and even bigger memories with a community that feels more like family than customers.

As much as we love CMSA and the SPORT of Mounted Shooting, we're entering a new season of life. We will continue doing what we love to do, just slowing down a bit to do some more traveling, and most importantly, spend more time with our grandkids and family. That time has become more valuable than ever.

We are incredibly grateful to the CMSA leadership for trusting Speedy's T's all these years, and to every member who stopped by our booth, wore our shirts, supported our work, and shared a smile or a story along the way. You helped make this more than a business...made it family.

While this chapter is closing, our appreciation for CMSA and its members will always remain. We'll continue cheering you on and wishing the association, with its new leadership (Mitchell Kramer)
nothing but success in the years ahead.

From the bottom of our hearts-THANK YOU for 15 unforgettable years!

With gratitude,
Mark, Chere and Family. ... See moreSee less
