Hey all!
Not sure how many of you still watch me, and I apologize for my lack of anything creative lately. Unfortunately I lost my photoshop copy due to the death of my poor laptop. This has left me without a computer and also without any creative outlet, thus, no use for DeviantArt. My equestrian life has picked up quite a bit, too. I am a 'working student' of sorts at my training stable, I not only board there but I train there for hunters and jumpers (possibly equitation). Within the past few months I got a new horse, a chestnut thoroughbred mare who is a trained jumper, still green in terms of the discipline and way of riding (she is an OTTB) but she is very confident and takes anything in front of her. The challenge with her is establishing good contact and keeping her in check. We're currently still working on strengthening her ground work so very few jumps are involved right now.

I groom at the stable to work off some of my board fee so I can afford my horse. On top of that I ride anywhere from 2 to 5 horses whenever I go out to the stable, pending what I have to do for the rest of the day. Usually on work days I can only get 2 or 3 done. Let's just say I'm determined to make a career somewhere in the jumping industry, I just don't know where, yet. I also hope to eventually work up towards Grand Prix level, but that's years down the road.

So that's what's been going on, hoping to find a way to get some pictures done, though as I do miss doing it. My most recent deviation is a little rough around the edges but still not bad for it being a while.


So... hi!
