C A N D L E W I C K B O O T H
My booth for the upcoming event that HARPG is putting on! I am so excited! From left to right, you'll see Ariel, Kavan, and Aubrey. They brought along some of our non-equines for the ride too! Blu is the white German Shepherd, Lupe is the Border Collie, and Scuttles of course is the adorable mini pig.
Feel free to look around and enjoy!
"I'm not wearing that."
"Kavan, please, just try it on!"
"No, no! Get that thing away from me."
"Quit torturing the man and come help me hang these halters, Aubrey."
The tiny red head held the man's look of fear with her unwavering gaze as she turned to assist Ariel at the back of the booth. Kavan lowered the hands he used as shields and took another look at the button with "ASK ME" scrolled in girly font across it. The pin was even pink. No way he'd ever let the teenager pin him with that! Boy, had he dodged a bullet!
"It would look good on you, you know", Ariel giggled from behind him, a hefty box in tow, "Can I sneak past ya'?"
Kavan slid out of the way as the woman placed the box underneath their booth, "I just think it'd clash with my outfit..."
"Ha, ha. Your sarcasm is impeccable", Ariel laughed again, continuing with the set up for the upcoming event, "Would you mind lending us a hand by chance, Mr. Matching T-Shirt, we've got a lot to get done."
"It would be my honor", he bowed gallantly and grinned, "No sarcasm required."

Training Services
Today at the booth, we have Ariel Bakers representing the training department at CandleWick. As head trainer, she is skilled in most English disciplines and is versatile enough to handle even the most difficult mounts. Because there are additional trainers for jumping and basic training, Ariel's main focus is upper level dressage. If you are interested in having Ariel or any of our other trainers (listed below) assist your horse in achieving valuable lessons, please commission me here .
Trainers Examples
Ariel Bakers - Dressage, Show Jumping, Cross Country Edge of Eternity All the Way to Reno
Jamie Rians - Show Jumping, Cross Country Arc of Infinity Pippin
Shauna Smith - Ground Work Man on the Moon Noah
& MORE
CandleWick always has something going on, and it would only be fair to have the booth represent the same thing! CAPITAL WORDS means your stables can interact with that aspect of the booth, Regular Words are just for story plot purposes.
Candles
What would CandleWick be with out some fresh-smelling candles for sale??
On the left are Aubrey's homemade candles, $1.00 a piece. There are an assortment of scents to choose from, so pick one up and take a whiff! This is her own little fundraiser as she is saving to buy her first horse! The redhead is on her way to the Pony Olympics right now, and being so involved at the stables for the event has made her want her own horse more and more!

SPONSORING
Interested in having CandleWick sponsor your next show with art or points? Send a note to me and I will be sure to give it up some thought! Keep in mind I have the right to refuse any show, for whatever reason. Upon acceptance, though, the blue CandleWick banner may be used in arenas for stadium jumping or dressage and drawn in the background of any of the shows entries! A sponsor jump has also been designed for use in jumping classes as well.

Tack
In the back of the booth, hanging on the maroon tack system, you may notice a couple saddles and a variety of saddle pads. Old, worn out tack is often donated to the stable by people who no longer ride or cannot get anymore wear and tear out of them. Often times the pads are thrown out, but these bridles and saddles and especially halters are re-purposed and made new again by the teens that hang out at the barn. Not only is recycling awesome, but the teens make a few extra bucks off of it! Currently on display is one fancy dressage saddle and one shining jumping saddle. Most of the pads below that are extra prizes from a past event the stables hosted. The halters to the right of there are a mix of new and re-purposed harnesses in an array of different colors. Prices are adjusted as needed.

Drawings
Savannah Hill is a teenager and boarder at CandleWick. When she isn't spending her time in the barn, she is drawing or sculpting or painting. Here she is selling them framed at the booth for extra money. In the picture, these are represented by two of my own drawings: The King and Front Line .

FREE RESOURCES
I have began a series of HARPG related resources, free to use with crediting. So far there are two backgrounds and show jumping supplies available in my resources folder in my main gallery. The poles standing up in the barrel at the back right of the booth are just a sample of the supplies that come in the jumping package! Please remember to credit me if you use any of the resources and send me the link to whatever you've created with them! I would love to see what you make.
***
CandleWick T-Shirts
We're all about looking our best, but still being practical! In the right section of the booth, we have a rack of t-shirts available in an entire rainbow of colors for anyone's preference! Kavan is modeling the blue tee, while Aubrey is rocking the green, collared version of the same design. Ariel is wearing the daily polo, with the signature CW emblem over the left breast in silver. Perhaps later, CandleWick will release new t-shirt designs. We'll just have to see!
***
BREEDING
Though there have been a few fuzzy babies on the property, breeding is not a HUGE part of the facility. Many horses are open to breeding whether it be a mare or stallion, just check that portion of their references. You can visit the stables here and when you find a potential match, send me a note with this filled out.
My mare/stallion:
Your stallion/mare: (+ link to ref)
Plans for foal:
Upon approval I will ask that you send the points and begin your beautiful breeding image. I hope there is a stallion or mare you think could be the parent of your future champion!
Thank you for stopping by our booth! I hope you found something exciting while you were here and maybe want to do business with us in the future! If you're ever in the area, stop by CandleWick Equine Facility in Osage Beach, Missouri. Until then, have a great day and enjoy the rest of the event!

I actually know nothing about EquineRPG. When I first saw digital paintings of horses, I always traced them back to HARPG, which is why I joined that group and not the other group you mentioned. I visited the group, though, and after looking around I found a couple differences. Before I dive into those, though, I wanted to clarify I was reading about and not . Okay so let's see what I found!
HorseArt-RPG
- HUGE community. (Over 3000 watchers and 1750 members)
- 6 years old
- No point system
- Sponsors and recently begun holding events
- Several tutorial folders
- Does not accept breed sheets
- Does not accept advertisements (other than certain shows and horses)
- For Sale Folder
- No chat room or any localized place to connect community
- Reasonable rules (These used to be harsher, however they were changed and are now more lenient)
- No association with independent stables
- Low level drama (I've experienced a little drama over small issues, but most horror stories are worse than what I've experienced)
- Challenges to entice artists to step outside their comfort zone
- Mascot (Harper)
EquineRPG
- Smaller community. (Almost 300 waters and 250ish members)
- 4 years old
- Optional Point System
- Sponsors and holds events
- Critique Folder
- Accepts Breed Sheets
- Accepts Advertisements
- For Sale Folder
- Chat room to connect community
- Reasonable rules
- Independent stables directory
- Geared to be drama free (I don't know if this is actually true, since I don't play)
- No challenges (point system is used to encourage artists)
- No Mascot
This is what I've found between the two of them! I think it's fairly accurate, but again, I haven't played EquineRPG, just HARPG. I hope this helps a little! Sorry the list is so long!
