@ Katie I actually do have a colt (sired by King out of Eden) that I submitted the registration for a few minutes ago, so hopefully he'll be registered in time to compete! I actually got off my butt to register him after your post about entering, heh. I don't know if I should show him off yet or wait until he's approved and first 'debuts' in his futurity show, haha. I do have some 'outtakes' (aka shots I'm not going to use) from his futurity photoshoot but hm... I'll think about it Although.. I think he qualifies as my first real homebred? I mean, his parents weren't bred by me but for once it isn't a horse I bought from somebody else that I'm showing, haha. Ooh, I hope he does well

Alright-y then, I'll show off the pictures I originally took and didn't end up using because I took different ones, heh. That and his eyes were closed here. His name's Old Fashioned of Vicentia, or Brandy/Bran. He's entirely unedited (although I can't remember if I switched some of his hoof colours to match up to the markings) and mostly because CAS was acting up badly for me so I couldn't remove that one brown spot. I'm just going to pretend it gives him character, haha. Or remove it when he's older and pretend he grew out of it? And yup, I wish everybody who entered the futurity contest (& who might enter it!) well!

^ Yes, somebody agrees with me, haha. I mean, he could've turned out much worse/needed much more editing to make him look presentable so if that's all I had to deal with, I'm glad, haha. He still surprised me though. His parents aren't sabinos, although Eden has flashier markings than King, and for him to have a little perfect patch on his shoulder, not to mention that white leg

I had a foal who was born with the random sabino mark too! I kept it even though neither parent has the gene. I just thought it was cute the game tossed me one. I want to use only real coat genetics but I couldn't help loving that foal as she was xD

Haha, don't worry Katie, he's only got a few markings so it's not hard to guess which ones you're talking about And I totally agree Rozz, haha. I couldn't help but keep him, especially since his siblings are usually clones of his parents And I built a facility to top all my previous facilities, haha. I always envy other people so I wanted a 'complete' facility and I made one that has an indoor dressage arena and an indoor dirt arena, primarily used for show jumping but I might make it smaller or section off a part of it for an outdoor dressage arena. Photo from when I was still working on it. This is pretty much complete, and you can see all the beams and how many invisible lights I used, haha. The far left buildinng is a place to wash horses, store tack and make food, as well as display all trophies. And two shots of the barn, to show how I laid it out. I have 10 stalls, using 7x7 dimensions scaled down from 14x14 RL dimensions. I used the lovely fence that I asked Lidija about and probably redid the inside of the barn from scratch at least four times, ugh. And one more shot, of Calleigh admiring the view from her stall, haha. Not much to it but at least it's something

Quick post about two new additions to the Arabian division. I pretty much went into the game just to add them to my stable/make sure they worked so I'll give them a bit more of a proper introduction later Both are from al Riyah Arabians.

Haven't updated this album in a while since I've been busy with Rena's story but I had some time today so I made myself a Gypsy Vanner. I've nicknamed him Crow and I pulled out an old sim that somebody made for me when they were taking requests so that I could try him out. Tweaked the Clydesdale template to make him, not entirely happy but it's the best I can do with what I have, I suppose. My friend actually inspired me because she made her own horses and I figured I'd try it, heh He's actually meant to be a chestnut skewbald, but I didn't particularly like any of the darker colours so I made him a tad lighter and went with a white mane & tail. Should probably go take some photos of other horses, haha.

Awww, I think he's adorable! I really love his markings, he's got a really friendly face to him to. I'm curious, any backstory to why you picked Crow, or just like the sound of it?

Well, I was randomizing names to get some ideas and I think the name that came up was Carver Crow, but I didn't want a 'human' name so I chose the Crow part of it. Then I also figured that he was a bit more feral than tame, considering his attitude and so I stuck with Crow because, in my head, I like to imagine him as a native horse (even considered giving him blue paint marks but I was too lazy to exit and download them, haha).
Kind of made up the backstory to his name as I was creating him, heh.

I love your horses! Brandy is super adorable (: I love your w.i.p barn - super jealous of your building skills!! Crow is really gorgeous too - love his coloring!
Also, how do you get your photos so gorgeously bright in photoshop? I've been trying to do something like that, but to no avail. *photoediting noob alert* :3
