Description


Vidar was about singing up Katarinka for an event while registrations went down before he'd attend the trail.

He wanted to get her shown in dressage just as he did with all of his endurance horses to prove they can do more than walking around.

Since the young Alekseevka would complete the trail instead of Katarinka, Vidar brought him to this show as understudy.


The young stallion never had been at a show before, but acted calm in Vidar's presence.

Also he didnt had any serious dressage training yet, only a few basics. 

Vidar wasn't there to win, neither to perform on a nigh level, just letting Alekseevka do his best. 


The reason why Vidar signed up for this event in first place: was it's theme.

A memorial event to remember those who passed away.

Sadly now one reason more to attend this show.

Originally he wanted to ride in memory of his beloved wife who passed away,

his treasured horses who died back then in war, or after good service of old age.

Now also in memory of Katarinka who made her rough road through life to die in peace.

As the light snow featherly fell from the sky, Vidar somehow associated it with the ash that flew around in the air

the night when his wife died in the fire. He should have died with her, but he didnt. 

He still deeply loved her, but one can start to love someone else just as much without forgetting the other ever.

In this last moment of mourning he remembered her and the moments with her,

but he also got ready leaving the past behind. Kat showed him how to be alive again,

raising up from the ashes.

He collected Alekseevka's reins riding assured into the arena, wearing his old spy uniform not rly caring if hed get penalties.


He believed Alekseevka could do justice to his ancenstors, the noble Admiralskaya who are about to be extinct.

Showing of his powerful steps, still having the feel of war horses in their veins after all the years. 

There barely was a way keeping up their breed without inbreeding or mixing them with Obertaurers.

Katarinka passed away way before she could haven give birth to a few more of their russian lineage. 

Mari had a talk with him on the way and they agreed it wouldnt need more than 3-4 generations until 

the russian line of Obertaurers would be no more. 

However he was grateful for the time he had and still has with them, hoping it would last for a long while.

Wow, looks like I've missed a lot! Soo many deviations to catch up on but so many lovely stories too! Had a very nice evening yesterday looking at all of your recent ~120 artworks and stories. Can't comment on every one obviously but I thought you should know that I do read every story you put in the artists' comments. Thanks for having such a great network of characters and stories!
Anyways this one is probably one of my favorites of the bunch; LOVE the mood and coloring. It's just such an expressive, moody piece.

Keep up the great work, Tyler.

I know many have said it already, but the mood in this piece is amazingly portrayed! I don't think anyone can top this one in terms of mood!

And Alekseevka!!! He's so studly and looks soooo grown-up! I love how easy you seem to draw anatomy spot-on! The background has a beautiful balance; though it's seemingly minimal, all the little details make it into one gorgeous whole with the characters. The right amount of black/grey and white make sure the characters are well-visible, yet totally in tune with the background!

Das Bild wirkt zwar recht schlicht durch den einfachen Hintergrund, aber er passt so wahnsinnig gut zum eigentlichen Thema. Alles so grau in grau, selbst Pferd und Reiter... die Atmosphäre, die damit erzeugt wird, spürt man richtig durchs Bild hindurch. Bei dir denke ich immer, du hast deinen ganzen Skill schon gezeigt, aber dann haust du wieder sowas raus. Echt der Wahnsinn... und dazu noch diese eeeepische Lied

Ein interessantes Event o___o
Das Bild hat eine wirklich beeindruckende Stimmung vor allem mit der Musik und der Story dazu spürt man geradezu das Gedenken : O
Der Schnee ist toll geworden, und Vidars Blick drückt sehr treffend seine Gedanken aus.
RIP oò
