Description MM RESOLUTIONBay Hanoverian StallionMeet my love, Resolution! Isn’t he handsome!

This was really my first time working on a background that wasn’t just a second thought and thrown together and I’m pretty dang proud of it! And this was also my first time working on dapples and I LOVE doing them! Never thought I’d say that. With my impatient nature I thought I’d detest them. But nope, love, love, love dem dapples.

Please let me know if this is dark on your computer! My mac tends to lighten images!

" It was a cold, dreary January day when Resolution stepped off the commercial vanner’s trailer and settled into his stall at Double M Acres. All the snow from the previous weeks has melted from a random warm-snap but it was now back down in the low 20’s and chilled everyone to the bone. The only difference now was there wasn’t a pretty white blanket of snow covering the ground. Just brown dead vegetation.

But the depressing weather didn’t sway the new stallion from curiously inspecting his surroundings. His shipping wraps were still wrapped snugly around his legs and the fleece coverings on his shipping halter has slipped slightly in transit, but other than that, the stallion seemed un-harmed. The deep red blanket Aj had sent to his previous owners ahead of time wrapped around the horse warmly and rustled in the wind. Aj who finished dealing with the vanner now lead the stud inside the stable to settle him into his freshly made stall. Resolution followed like a gentleman, even though Aj could tell he wanted to go meet the other horses that crowded the front of their stalls watching the new horse enter. Nugget pinned his ears and screamed a warning cry, smelling the new stallion and deeming him a rival. Resolution snorted lowly, but that was all while Nugget pranced in his stall irritably.

“Don’t mind him.” Aj spoke to the horse whose ears pricked forward at her voice, “He’s just a crabby pants.”

A loud kick was heard from Nugget’s stall directly after Aj’s statement and it made her chuckle. That horse was such a character. Halting Resolution in the middle of the aisle, she quickly cross-tied the horse and got to work unwrapping his shipping wraps and checking his over thoroughly for any cuts or swelling. Finding that the horse was in tip-top shape, Aj breathed out a sigh of relief. Resolution had been hauled half way across the country from the west coast and she’d been anxious for his safe arrival for days now.

Adding another layer to his blanket and slipping a light hood on, she unclipped him from the cross-ties and lead him into a spacious stall next to Erste who had been quietly observing the two. Stripping his halter, Aj stepped out of the box and closed the door and watched Resolution make his way over to the divider between him and the mare. Erste’s pink nose poked up from the other side and Resolution reached up to sniff the other horse. Aj held her breath as she waited to see the stallions reaction. Nugget surely would have had a fit and tried to climb over the wall to the mare, but Resolution simply greeted the other horse and then abandoned her to go investigate the rest of his surroundings.

After finding his waterer and checking out the hardware to his double-dutch door, the horse let out a long sigh and then to Aj’s surprise, plopped down and laid flat out in the fluffy new shavings. It wasn’t but five minutes in his new home and the horse was comfortable enough to actually fall into REM sleep – Aj had never in her years of working with horse’s seen this. But, she guessed, this was the personality she’d been hoping for when she heard about the laid-back stud. She just didn’t quiet believe it even as she watched the steady rise and fall of the horse’s blanket clad belly. "

Discipline: Working Hunter
Conformation: Resolution is a sturdy built horse with imposing width through his body. He is big boned and very well proportioned. A very classic type hunter build, he has good angles throughout and a quiet, curious eye.
Personality: Typical of his hunter job, Resolution is very level headed and quiet but with enough curiosity and boldness to tackle any obstacle he is faced with. He is very well mannered and is quick to learn. He got his nick-name, ‘Teddy’ because he loves to cuddle and be close to his handlers, but sometimes to a negative extent. He periodically forgets he’s a half-ton horse and wants to sit in your lap. He acts much more like a gelding than a stud.

This is just gorgeous! I love the tones that you've hidden in his coat. The blues and purples look great on him Fantastic coloring job, in general, as well. You did a great job on his dapples, I'm still figuring out how to do them myself.
I'm very excited to see your progression in the HARPG, so far it looks like you have some extremely lovely horses. Keep up the great work

Thank you! I do love how his coat ended up. I find it funny, in RL my least favorite color of horse is bay (just if I had to pick) but I'm finding that I LOVE to paint bays.

Haha, my least favorite color is bay as well. I haven't colored one yet, hopefully I'll find it as fun as you did

Surprisingly, it didn't take an obscene amount of time... The horse probably 6-7 hours and the background only an hour or two.

I love how his build ended up! I sometimes have trouble making big BONED horses but still athletic looking because they end up looking draft like, but I think he settled nicely in the middle.

Please do find a Hano mare! I got none so I don't have anyone to breed him to when he gets ready to be offered for stud (and you've got plenty of time before that, he's got some pretty big show pants to fit into before he gets to make babys! Lol)!
