Description Entry for 's Brighthelm Show[link]
For Havillands Stables: Havillands Frostfire and George Henby
One Day event Cross Country.
Here's George and Frosty on the higher point of the course over the downs, George appears to be using tactics more usually seen employed by Gareth, i.e. yelling a lot of encouragement.
Frosty is looking a bit the worse for wear, he has been made to walk diagonally, jump over things and now he has to listen to George - of all people- who is making him turn, jump, go through trees, splash through water and go up and down hills. It is all a bit much for a simple minded race horse who is used to charging wildly in one direction - usually the wrong one- Stamina isn't the issue, it is mental energy that is the problem here.
The jump steward seems to be somewhat alarmed by George's bawling! George is pretty intimidating even when he is smiling so encountering a big, red faced, shouty version isn't a Good Thing
Khi has generously made George an armband too. He did actually say thank you, since he is still feeling the aftershocks of a particularly bad bout of 'Khi Anger' the other week when he was rude to her. John had to drag her away and comb her hair to calm her down.

Poor Frosty.  Cotton in the ears will help to tone down the "roar of the crowd".

I don't know, George is pretty loud when he gets shouting (But not as loud as Gareth!)

I really love this! It's so clean but it's still traditional, excellent work on Frosty's dapples!

Thanks, dapples were drawn with my set of grey pitt pens, I was being lazy and didn't want to do them in pencil.

I don't think Forsty is looking too impressed with this new 'technique'

Louvan In reply to Maeix2 [2012-07-31 22:28:37 +0000 UTC]

He isn't, yelling is normal, along the lines of "You've Gone The Wrong Way Again!" but yelling AND so much brain taxing activity? That's too much.
I have a nice follow up to this, which is half inked. I may post it tomorrow if I get time to finish it.

I can believe that. And George isn't the quietest person at the best of time.

I'll go take a look

"Nice But Dim" is the best way to describe Frosty
