Description

So...Ive tried to play a little with traditional arty stuff. It has been YEARS!

I wasnt sure what to do, I have an idea I will try and do somewhere down the line but I felt that perhaps I needed some warmup first. Not sure if there will be more of these but....here are some words from a Horse termiology list...in other words...horse words... Words that for the "bitten" (not literary) make perfect sense and you know exactly what it means - but for someone else...not as much. So... here are my doodles on the subject We will see if I do any more.

FROM TOP TO BOTTOM, LEFT TO RIGHT

Air(s) above ground
Movements in haute ecolé or "high school" classical dressage, where the horse leaves the ground with two or four feet in response to the rider's commands. The airs above ground" ade famous by the Lipizzan horses at the Spanish Riding School, the airs include the levade, capriole, croupade, courbette, and ballotade.

Equus
The genus including the horse, donkey, zebra and all other surviving members of the family Equidae. (supposed to look similar to the cave painting horse)

Frog
A tough, rubbery, triangular part of the underside of a horse hoof that acts as a shock absorber for the horse's foot and also assists in blood circulation of the lower leg.

Ponyjumping
Showjumping for ponys.

Yellow horse (Western US)
Slang for a palomino.

Quarter Horse or American Quarter Horse
A popular stock horse breed, especially in North America, noted for ability to work with cattle and compete in related competitive events requiring both short bursts of intense speed and agility. Also raced at distances of a quarter mile or less, from whence the name originates. (or 1 quarter horse, the rest are just expenses)

Unicorn
The unicorn is a legendary creature that has been described since antiquity as a beast with a single large, pointed, spiraling horn projecting from its forehead.

(text mostly from Wikipedias list of horsewords and some from HARPG Discord friends)

Tools used: Aquarelle, both pens and "normal", micron liners, some simple watercolor paper I had laying around.
