Description Rider: Tissa Duvall
Horses: BCS Goul and BCS Ahanu
Stable: Bobwood Creek Stables

Story:

The race had started off quite nicely. There was little fuss going on between horses and their riders as they got ready through the day, and Tissa was feeling pretty excited to get out on the trail as soon as possible. Sure, she didn't mind seeing all the other horses, beautiful horses and even some breeds she wasn't familiar with, but she wasn't crazy being near the other participants. She hated being around a lot of people, which is why she preferred Endurance races over other competitions.

The trail was perfect the first couple of days. She took things nice and slow with the two stallions wanting to keep them both in a good mood and keep a good pace. The third day, right before crossing out of Kentucky, the wind picked up and a storm was brewing. Both stallions became a bit more jittery and harder to handle, but they continued to listen to her commands and she was able to calm them. She struggled with the map and compass that her and the other contestants were given before leaving. She hated these things and wished she could have her phone to use the GPS, but of course that was against the rules.

She looked up as the first signs of Spring rain drops started to come down. Today was going to be a long day....

What is even better about this piece...I uploaded it on Facebook to show how much I have improved from my first digital drawing (done completely by myself)...and my dad actually noticed it. It was the first time he has ever really noticed my hobby and has actually been proud of it! My day has been made now

Haha congrats!  My dad doesn't appreciate my art.  He thinks it is a waste of time so I just don't do any when he's near.

Yea, well see that is how my dad has always been. He would always get upset cause I could be cleaning or doing something that would help everyone in the house out. He thought I was doing this to be lazy, but I showed the starting sketch (the one I made over at their house the other day) then I showed him the few things I had saved showing where I was at and how I was doing it, then he was like...maybe you really aren't being that lazy lol
