Story
*Enters Galassio and Stella* Stella was nervous, hands shaking, her first show, Galassio's first show, it was so tense, but why was it so tense? It was just a training show to help Galassio.. Galassio picked up trot and turned down the centre line. Stella halted, he stood square and she salute the judges. They started their performance starting in a nice soft walk, Stella closed her eyes.. just for a brief moment, took a deep breath in, consuming the clean fresh air from the beach, she could smell the salty fresh sea hear the seagulls calling out to one another. She took a deep breath out, lowered her hands and opened her eyes, she relaxed a little and so Galassio dropped his head and Stella started to relax, as they went on the pair became increasingly comfortable, to the point where Galassio was trying to show off. He showed his lovely extended paces and his collective paces when asked, he was being exceptionally good. Not phased by the audience, it wasn't large but enough to put off any beginner horse. He didn't flinch, or lift his leg to anything that might have spooked him. The end of their test arrived, Stella turned in, and Salute to the judges.

"Thank you" she whispered as she kissed and pat her big horse, he smiled into the sky.

Well boy am I glad to have this done! Spent a ridiculous amount of time on that background had to deal with everything I can't draw! Omg the sand and the arena, I can not tell you how many times I redid those.. The rider.. boy do I still hate doing people.. xD And Galassio, started off very different from when I first began, I did all the shading on his neck and face only to scrap it because I didn't like it. I still can't get horses fur right so I had to that strand at a time.. don't know who that was more boring for, myself or my audience on my join.me.
Very glad its over and I am quite pleased with the result, hoping for a nice result after the show!
