Description Adopting from [link]

Blood Bay Breivun

Name: Lovell

Nickname: Love

Breed: Breivun

Gender: Mare

Color: Blood Bay

Age: 4

Height: 16hh

Build: Combination of a Draft and Friesian

Personality: Lovell is a young mare with high spirits. She gets bored incredibly easily and so measures have had to be taken to keep her entertained. She has already worked out how to unbolt her door, so more precautions need to be taken when she's in her stable. She has just started her training to be a show jumper and this helps to keep her entertained. She's curious and intelligent and loves to annoy her fellow field mates.

Background: Lovell was born in the wild before being captured as a yearling. Due to this, she still has a lot of wild spirit in her. While the stable workers have managed to 'tame' her, she is still unpredictable and often very wild. When she was bought from the stables that had caught her form the wild, she nearly destroyed the trailer on her journey to Firelight. When she arrived, she ran rampage around the yard for a few minutes before being herded into her stable. In the stable she did not want to be in, she learned how to unbolt her door and quickly proceeded to escape. It's a good job there are no longer many horses at Firelight, because she soon decided to unbolt the doors of all the other horses too. When the staff had successfully managed to herd all the other horses into their stables, there was Lovell left in the field eating grass happily.

Since day one she has been a hand full, but as the years have gone by she's become used to being handled. The staff can now put a head collar on her and lead her out to the field instead of just herding her in a general direction. They have started lunging her and have just put a saddle on her back, which she detests greatly. It is only a matter of time before people are riding her and she is practicing her jumping. With her high spirits, however, her training is slow. At the minute, she is a dangerous horse to ride.

Thats my girl! (refers to the mare) Haha. Always a handful!

Just wanted to say great job! The picture looks great, and the Breivun Breed looks spectacular in your style of drawing!

Minor Note: All Breivuns are normally always headstrung, and it is something that can hardly ever be trained out of there personality; unless they are handled at a younger age. Since the adoptables are yearlings at this time, I feel that all of the Yearlings will end up being headstrung their entire life; and never truly be "broken".

Anyway, just my thoughts. Once again, great picture! Not quite sure when I'll announce the winners. I'm waiting for one more entry, I believe (that I'm aware of) then I'll announce the deadline - in case any more stragglers are wanting to enter.

Good Job.

Yeahh I'm not expecting her to ever grow out of being kinda crazy >.< they just want to be able to get a saddle on her and encourage her around some jumps xD She only co-operates when there's something in it for her, and then it's touch and go, so they'll certainly have fun with her it's nice to have a live wire horse.

Well just let me know when you announce the winners ^^

Thanks a lot

Very nice! Her background story was amazing and the picture is too. Nobody else has shown any interest, so I feel your chances will be good. However, I will say "dont count your chickens before they hatch..." Or something like that. lol.

Anyway, I'll definatly do that. I want to thank you for noting me your entry...as it will help me in not loosing it. hehe. Anyway, I'll tell you when I set the deadline and then when I announce the winners. Anyway. Great job once again.

Thank you very much I'm trying to practice drawing without reference

Feliangimus In reply to mapal [2010-09-04 22:54:01 +0000 UTC]

And you are doing well. Keep up the good work. That is one of the things I have a hard time at, when drawing. I usually have to look after a picture or something.
Any tip??

My main tip is lots of practice, really. Close study of anatomy and movement is a big help. I work with horses whenever I can, and when I get those chances I watch them closely and study them. Working with basic shapes to get the pose is a great idea, but when it comes to fine tuning the anatomy I think it's a great idea to have a few pictures that you can reference from.
