Five Gaited Marching Horse

I think they call this the "run walk." I would urge those who train gaited horses to maintain compassion and to put animal safety above winning prizes. These gentle horses have done nothing to deserve what some folks do to them to make them pick their feet up still higher than they already do.

Half Finished Mare

I began to shade. The neckline running through the mane is still visible, and wouldn't be once the mane had been shaded in. Yet something in this unfinished look made me pause. I may finish it, may not. If I do I will wait a few days or weeks and begin with a fresh mindset--better a good drawing half done than a drawing ruined by overworking it or by finishing when the inspiration's not there. I almost do like her as she is, and if I lighten that neckline with an eraser she may pass for a pinto.
