Description Entry for and Sort Of A Pentathlon II (SOAP II)
For Havillands Stables [link]
Havillands Meredith [link] 15hh Welsh Cob Stallion aged 7 ish and Gareth Rhodri Evans, a big Welsh chap from Criccieth in Snowdonia aged twentysomething (I don't know how old he is, as a cartoon character he doesn't seem to age)
A previous Cross Country picture [link]

After being somewhat quiet over Christmas, Gareth and Meredith were allowed to travel to the SOAP competition to take part in the Snow Cross Country. Here they are clearing jump nine which is on an intersection of the track. Snow and ice doesn't bother either of them as growing up in rural North Wales it can get pretty cold up in those mountains. Meredith looks happy to be out and about, because he isn't a very large horse he gets overlooked for the bigger competitions but he can jump really well and loves a good cross country gallop with plenty of jumping. He's a cob, it is what they do.
Gareth looks for all the world like the biggest Italian Football Team supporter in the world, but those stripes on his hand knitted scarf* are the colours of the Welsh flag, he is- as usual -being very patriotic about his native country.
Bunny is busy making himself a snow rabbit to amuse himself, he might not be in the most sensible of places however!

Strangely it looks like Meredith isn't plotting anything!

Maybe our horses might meet each others.

...To be quite honest, I was so tempted to suggest it *le blush* I would be so honored to do a narrative with you, but to be honest, I'm not quite sure how to begin with that. I had somewhat of a story in mind if you'd like to discuss it?

This is really cute, I love how you manage to make everything emotive and sketchy while still keeping a good dose of realism.

Thank you, I'm sort of stuck with this style, I can't draw any other way.

Well there are certainly worse fates than being stuck with an adorable art style?
