This afternoon I did manage to do some work on a new horse I started. I like him so far, but he still needs a ton of work. I am thinking about painting him to either a minimal tobiano or overo. I also worked on the QH today. I still have some stuff to do on his tail and he still needs a neck, ears and mane. I repositioned his leg, it was the first one I have ever done and I think it turned out well enough. I'm probably not going to paint this horse, I might just prep him and maybe sell him. The WEG drafter will be going up for sale soon. He still needs a little more primer and with the weather we have been having spraying is just not in the cards.
So I got nothing done all weekend. I didn't paint, sculpt or take pictures like I wanted to. It didn't help that I was sick all weekend either. Whatever this is that I have is really not fun. I spent all of Tues laying on the couch and most of Wed doing the same. I did manage to go to my lesson Wed afternoon, but that was a big mistake. I got home from the barn, took a shower and went to bed. I woke up this morning and felt horrible. I think it was from riding so hard. I missed part of my lesson thanks to my girht going missing. So I had to do a power lesson. If a trainer ever asks you if you want to do a power lesson, so mo. Trust me, so no. I did canter to halt back to canter transitions for 10 mins, then did transitions without stirrups, then went back to doing more canter-halt-canter transitions, with a little trotting thrown in there.

I also started the Hunter Derby horse today. I just have the wire in for now. This horse is going to have to wait till next Tuesday for apoxie. I want to get the neck done in one shot and I would like to do the braided tail and braided mane in one shot too. I didn't move his legs, I think they look good enough. I will be drilling a new hole in his belly though. I am going to make him more upright then wide, if that makes sense. I will be starting the jump and base for this horse on Tues as well. I picked a jump from the 1st Hunter Derby Finals. It will be white with green brushes and maybe some grey bricks on a few pillars. I will be sure to post pics when I get it all finished.

I LOVE THE PARADRESSAGE! I'm going to have to send you one so you can make one that looks like that for me!
