Description
got 9th place! Not the best, but quite happy with it because there were so many entries!
My entry for *Starblas 's showjumping competition. I started out loving this, but the more I got done, the less I wanted to do I don't love it anymore! I didn't use a ref for any of it (except the jump design) which is why the anatomy/pose is a bit off. But I am happy that I can use no refs and it actually looks like a horse
haha! Any constructive criticism is welcome!

Story:
It was a cold but sunny October morning when Amy was tacking up her beautiful stallion. She shuddered in the cold air and lent against the horse, putting her cold fingers under his warm mane, "Oh Beau, I hope the weather's nicer when it's our round!" Groaning, Amy hauled the saddle high onto the 17hh stallion's back. It wasn't just the weather she was worried about. Although Beau had been behaving beautifully as always, the jumps at this show were the highest they had gone at a show.
"Amy stop stressing - it's going to be fine! You school at least 1ft higher than the highest jump out there today. Stop second guessing yourself and get that stallion looking beautiful!" Georgia said. Amy knew she was right, but she couldn't help let the nerves get better of herself!
The air was still cold against Amy's neck as she cantered into the grass arena. Gritting her teeth she aimed Beau at the first fence - a simple white and brown upright. They flew over it and landed, Beau already gaining speed and locking onto the next fence - this time a large red and white oxer. Amy could tell that despite the cold and her nerves, this was going to be a fun round!
