Description
Supporting art for 's Brighthelm show [link]Following on from this
After the Cross country George decided to take Frosty to see one of the vets, just for a check over as he was looking a bit green round the gills.
Frosty isn't particularly keen on seeing the vet, since one tattooed a number on the inside of his lip when he was young (racehorse I.D) which he didn't enjoy.
As it transpires Frosty's state of exhaustion isn't from physical exertion, but actually from much mental stimulation, causing his tiny brain to expand a little bit and increasing his IQ slightly.
He is still an idiot however, just a slightly smarter form of idiot.
Drawn with propelling pencil on cartridge paper, inked with Pitt pens and coloured in a variety of coloured pencils.

He feels the same way as I do when I have to see the dentist.

Ouch, I'd never heard of the racehorse lip tattoo thing! Sounds painful.

I guess horses are microchipped these days?

Ah yes, that's a pretty big needle! But not multiple jabs on the inner lip...
Actually, Merlin's a little like Frosty around vets.

I don't know how much feeling horses have on their top lips (you can stick a twitch on them without causing damage) but I don't have anything pierced of tattooed as I don't like needles.

I can put a brave and logical face in if it's absolutely necessary, but I can't imagine ever sticking a needle in myself if it wasn't necessary.

Phobias are quite an irritating thing to have, I think. They can form all sorts of blocks. I have a strategy for needles - think about Merlin squashing the vet against the wall during his last vaccination!

They are irritating, they stop you from doing so many things.

They do, and they are very difficult to get rid of.

Thank you,
Frosty is a nice boy, even if he isn't very clever.

She looks like she's privately wonders who on earth had come up with the idea to take a horse like Frosty to this show. Great epxressions on everyone

I had to do this to complete the XC picture.

George contributes to the general background levels of irritation, Khi and Gareth make up the full quota.

Thank you, I had to draw a second part to the XC picture just in case anyone was worried for Frosty's well being

Hehe, maybe if he's ridden solidly for the rest of his life he'll get to Stephen Fry's level! XD

Poor old Frosty, George isn't exactly sympathetic is he?
