Thanks to the new sliders my Belgians don't look like short beefy thing legged wanna-be(e)s! Now they can fulfill their 19 hands and super thick legs. I feel encouraged to make driving related tack for them since they aren't the ideal jumpers or dressage horses either. I'll look into a bridle with blinders and maybe try to make a harness type thing... if only a cart could be made.. that wouldn't be confined to wiggly joints. :L *wishes for knowledge of animating*. Anyways I think I'll finally take in some breeding requests for my Belgians. Now that they look like Belgian, or closer to real Belgians.

THIRD CHARGER. My sister's puppy got a hold of it and chewed a hole in it, no big deal right? It still worked fine. I get complained at that it's in an inconvenient spot, and should be laying on the floor. Two seconds later it gets stepped on, i'm pretty damn sure the adapter got fried and let off a big sparky glow. Now my charger's literally in two pieces. WHAT THE HELL!?! I just bought a new one THREE MONTHS ago! I'm so mad. I love my laptop, but i'm getting sick of this. And i'm sick of the animals in the house that lack any decent training, and they destroy everything. My only house pet is a fish, and this is why. No idea when I'll manage to get a new one.. once again i'll be slow, things will be postponed etc.
For the most part I finished a plaited mane. It is now currently available for download. It's not perfect, and may get distorted with certain actions. Especially poses. A full set of sports boots with and without bell boots is also available for download. I'm also going to be super busy starting tomorrow. I have to work, have someone come out to see my horse, possibly another person, then dinner... then I'll be pet sitting and blah blah.. so things will be slow on my part. I won't have internet for Saturday and 3/4ths of Sunday. Well not on my laptop.. maybe.. I don't know, it depends on if my laptop will accept the wonderful world of Dial Up. I thought it went extinct...? So here's some basic bridles. An Eggbut type, and D-ring, both snaffle bits on a plain bridle. The bridles are more realistic, reins attached to the bit, the actual snaffle bit, no rings random bits of metal, and unnecessary buckles removed. I have a full set of boots pre-jointed, so they need some minor texture editing, then I'll release a full set of boots with, and without bell boots. And I might work on the braided mane. I might just start making a mesh from scratch. I'm not really sure.. I'll try stuff. I just like making bridles and boots, so much easier after I get home from pre-frying my brain in the heat working with Tommy. AND I guess since I made this(cloned the wrong object) I'll release this too, a western shirt(men only) with competition numbers. 1-10. If you're interested. I was going to release this with some other stuff, but I keep getting delayed or just don't feel like working on them. My poses are done(horse poses only) and I was going to put them in a list.. but eh.. I don't think I will. So whatever, here is the racing bridle that has been done for a while. Some more pose previews(dramatic steeplchase poses). All rider poses are from Kaleeko and Amanda's packs. You can find the bridle under Tack>>English>>bridles in the custom tab. So my cc has not been getting anywhere lately.. obviously. I think I'll just release the racing bridle by itself since my poses aren't in a list yet. And I haven't been working on anything either. I've been tired, working with Luna, and my stupid allergies are getting the best of me.
On the other hand I'm looking for my own horsey stuff. More specifically show clothes for me. I got rid of all my show stuff a few years ago.. I don't even have cowboy boots.. I just have a belt. :L So yeah, I need boots, a hat, shirt, maybe pants, and a new show halter since I sold my last one to a friend. I kind of know the halter I want though, it's really nice, and doesn't cost more than my car! :D I just have no idea how I'm going to find a nice show shirt(or one that fits my stick figure). I might have to do some real custom stuff lmao I'm not very amazing with my sewing machine either. I'm pretty bad. I replaced a lycra hoods zipper, since Tag's got beastly neck/shoulders, the zipper broke. For my first time putting in a zipper and working with lycra, it's wasn't that bad, but it definitely wasn't that great either! I'd do english halter, but Luna's never had a bit, I don't have a bit to fit her, and I personally like being decorative and different in western xD yay shiny.. in the long run I want to look presentable and acquire the needed stuff like the picture below. Credits to fantasy design stock, one of my favored stock providers. I'm currently cycling through my stock. My first gen stock that I started with are going to slowly move into retirement. I'm keeping a few offspring to be the second gen. I'm trying to finish up my cc projects and what not. I'm also looking for more new stock Appaloosa stock.. so if you have any for sale, I'm looking :D Just got the okay that the rescue will take Tag. I'm so relieved! I'm glad he'll go somewhere nice, and find a good future home, hopefully doing something he enjoys. I'm just glad he'll be getting a good home.
So yeah, I've been up since 7am and i've been outside cooking in the 92F weather. No shade. So I rode Tommy for the first time, and he did great, then we left to pick up Luna. She was skeptical, afraid of the trailer, and then after about 20minutes my mom/trainer were ready to go home. Although was already cooking from working Tommy and my face looked like a tomato. :L So we just coaxed her in by applying a little bit of pressure by tapping her butt with a whip. It's more like a stick with bright orange tape. She flew in and tied her, escaping to the first divider(three load) and managed to squeeze out the back. She did pretty good on our 15-20min trailer ride considering this is her second time, and the first time was all the was from Nevada to here, AZ. Got her home, and she's in the "round pen". She's nervous etc and pacing around, but I think she's calmed down. Picturesss of her and her sire. Her sire is the overo and the other Chestnut is another horse I am unaware of on the Dam's side. She's the baby xD obviously. SOOO all my projects might take a bit longer as my time has not only been directed to my job with Tommy, but tomorrow I'll be (hopefully since it's an unsure date) picking up a registered solid chestnut APH 1 year old filly. I just got the papers signed over and saw her today. She's already 14.2hh. At 1 years old. The most incredible part, is I'm getting her for free. The only costs I'll be paying are to sign over the papers in my name for paint and register her as a QH. I'll be working with her, a ton, because she's head shy, skeptical, and afraid of everything. :L Even water tubs apparently. All she knows is how to be lead. Her feet have been trimmed once in her lifetime. The owners call her Luna, a nickname for lunatic. Since my "trainer" who is my moms friend, works with this lady who breeds and trains paints/qh's. She recommended me, since the owner is less then enthusiastic about the filly. A lot of work, but YAYYY free registered AQH x APH! She'll be my show pony in halter for local showing :] considering her sire is a chestnut overo halter horse. Just have to load her up tomorrow.. somehow.. as she has no training...
She's not a Mustang xD but technically she's almost wild.. besides the halter broken-ness. And my beast, TB Tag will be going to a rescue. :L Poor horse keeps getting picked at when I have people come to see him.. at least he'll get a guaranteed home. ISHR registry is closed until it's up on Bound Heart Farms Wee i'll get pictures of her when she's on the property. Just got back from my first day of work :] I'll be exercising/training a Miniature Horse/Mustang Cross for a month. He's five,very nosy, but pretty cooperative, green, and hasn't been used in a year since his first training. So I'll be riding a barely 13hh pony xD and I'm 5'8". I'm looking forward to it though. On the other hand I'm working on some boots, and racing type stuff. Including race poses and tack. I said I wasn't going to do poses.. but i'm impatient and they're easy compared to making some cc anyways. Reminder list of cc to do: -Western competition numbered shirt -Numbered english competition pad -Barrels -Racing Bridle w/bit -Racing Hood -Racing Poses -Texture full set of boots -Jockey poses(if possible) -WP poses |
