WELL im trying to drag myself out of a rutt again and that means fun (last minute) insanity XD
Realised that this awesome show is ending soon and that i had hoped to get a couple of entries in, but don't think i will end up with a second.

BUT Cavan had to return after last year with Ridge, this time bringing team ginger back out to step up a level in their Dressage careers and show off what they have been working on this last few months.

Show: Midsummer Celebration Grand Prix 2021

Class: Hårga Cup (Intermediate Dressage)

!!!1st Place!!!

Rider: Cavan Boal

Age: 34yo

Stable: KhanCohban Farm

Country: Australia

Horse: KhC Slivovitz

Age: 11yo Admiralskaya Stallion

Art Notes: No refs used for characters, had about 5 for lighting but ended up fudging them all and going for a super soft pastel early morning colour scheme anyway XD Also tried to get the gold leaf look + incorporate it into the sun and also a representation of the sun/earth orbit at the shortest point for the season, and just because it framed them nicely and brought out the cold points in the rest of the image. Probably should have done pine trees but went with the softer/rounder species as i didn't want too much pointy happening in the bg after i ended up tossing in all that grass.
