Hey everyone! I'm around for a while now and I thought it is finally time to show off some of my work In my time here I got more familiar with picture editing as well creating custom poses, so I'd really love to show you guys what I've got My very first dressage move Piaffe Counter canter (why yes, it's moving!! >.<) Changing leads (is it called like that?) And last but not least, a canter pirouette For the last two pictures I had to change the height of the back, so a normal rider looks ridicolous... I find Sim poses a lot more complicated, but I guess for the sake of it I gonna try to make riding poses for those two shots :x Oh, one last thing I wanted to share with you in this post My avatar picture! Or: the picture I took my avatar from I was on my way taking cross country pictures of Vertical Horizon, when I saw this scene happening in front of my barn. Dunno, I just thought it was really cute Hope you like it and I can annoy you with more of them in the future!

Dank je I'm particular proud of that one! I know Odessa made the same pose in her request thread (you should check it out, it's awesome), but there are some slight differences As for today... It's May(hem)!... and that's because I got the two fillies I wanted so badly this month. I can't tell you how much in love I am! But with my own little colt from last month, you can imagine there is no single peaceful moment in my stables anymore. All three of them have so much energy, it's incredible. But see for yourselves Short guide: The dark grey foal is my colt, RWS/GHS Apotheosanity, the chestnut filly is RWS/GHS Four-Leaf Clover and the dark bay filly is ILA Sonatina. They are all quite different from each other, but that is to say: everyone has their own unique features And that's what I love so much about them. They make an awesome team! However, I wish I could promise that this is it for this month, but I know of at least one more foal crop that is upcoming soon and knowing myself, it will be difficult to resist...

Thanks you two Hihi, my foals are my pride! In the last days played with blender again. Lately I find myself watching dressage videos from time to time, so the first three poses you will see are inspired by those Since I have one horse for Western Pleasure, I tried out a western pose as well haha xD more or less successful: I think the head could still go a little lower... oh well x)

The only things missing on those are the stirrups! They're great!

Amazing dressage poses. But I think the head can lower on the dressage poses? I think that really add more to the pictures but that is only my opinion .

I'm really glad you like them Yeah I know Lidija, but making both horse and rider pose with the pose player (although I didn't make the rider pose, it's Kaleeko's), sadly the stirrups don't show For shows it would be nice to have them! Manon, like I said, I used dressage videos as a reference for the poses. There the horses held their head high up like this almost all the time I have to admit I don't know much about horses and their gaits in real life (I couldn't even tell you what the poses are called), so I rely on the accuracy of the poses I see. And between us two: Although I absolutely accept your opinion, I kinda disagree xP I think they look nicer with their head held up

It's been a while; time for an update! To tell the truth, I wasn't planning to enter Kaleeko's Individuality Show, until an idea struck me... and gave birth to a few new poses that I'm very pleased with personally: (^ I know it doesn't look special, but it's quite handy for profile pictures The stallion you see here is my baby boy Apotheosanity <3 He just grew up a few days ago! He's the first ever foal to be born from one of my mares So he's really special to me. Anyway, it was also time to build a proper trainer center. I really liked my old facilities, but they didn't offer what I needed. I probably gonna keep using them as breeding facility in the future though. For now I present you: The Grafenhof Training Center! In the seperated stables are boxes for 6 mares and 4 stallions. Right in front of the mares' stable is a small area where they can be cleaned (behind the tree, next to the fence in the back): My indoor dressage arena. I've wanted one for a while but I could never fit one! Same for the indoor jumping course, which I could finally create: And last but not least, the small and comfortable (in Dutch they call it 'gezellig' xD) living area for the two-legged inhabitants:

Lovely facilities. And the word "gezellig" fits perfectly.

Haha thank you so much ;D I usually take hours to build something and dismiss everything afterwards, because I just can't figure it out. With these facilities, everything just feels right <3 So, while I'm preparing and selecting pictures for my entry for the Queenstown XC Trials, I wanna show you a horse & rider pose I made just for this purpose, but might not use anyway: I like the dynamics, but I just can't work it into Cross Country ;p
