Description
Haha so this is what happens when two big softies meet up. To Taffy's pleasant surprise he found himself next door to RPS Attraction of a Diary (*abosz007 ) and they appeared to get on very well. Based at BMET, but I may have taken some liberties with the stall design... I just went with what artistically worked to be honest xDIt's images like this that make me realise how far I've come. When I manage something so lovely with no reference, I just know that all that hard work has paid off.
Story
When everyone started unwinding after the dressage, Aithne felt the tension start to leave her, and she could finally breathe. She headed over to Taffy's stable after wrapping things up after the class, and a rather sweet sight met her eyes. She knew Teddy was next door, and she had seen the drop dead gorgeous horse in the ring, but she hadn't actually seen him in his stable yet. Taffy was clearly making friends very quickly, whickering and reaching out to get a good sniff. Teddy curled his upper lip and snorted, curling his neck around the bars to get closer. Aithne sighed and smiled, heading over to them. "Hello boys," she said softly. Taffy lifted his head and whinnied a bit too loudly at his master. "Taffy," she grumbled. "Use your inside voice." She rubbed his nose and gave Teddy a scratch behind the ear. She was glad she had finally met the other stallion after seeing him out and about on the grounds.
Taffy retreated into his stable, and Teddy craned his neck further to try and see where his new buddy had gone. Aithne chuckled slightly and rubbed his forehead. "Well, aren't you just the sweetest," she grinned as the stallion checked all her pockets for tasty things. "I'm sure you'll see him again," she soothed, patting Teddy's neck before letting herself into Taffy's stall. The harno stallion was munching on his hay happily, but moved over to Aithne as she came in. "Hey, handsome," she mumbled with a warm smile, rubbing his neck softly. "You did well, mm? You're a good lad, you are." The stallion listened to her words calmly as he rested his muzzle on her shoulder. He sighed and closed his eyes as she massaged his neck and shoulder gently. Aithne laughed to herself as she felt the weight of his head gaining on her shoulder. "Don't fall asleep there, lazy butt," she muttered. Taffy merely sighed again in response, clearly too relaxed to actually move or make any effort.

No ref? Impressive! I don't think that I could make the anatomy (or shading, for that matter) so accurate without a ref. I'm too ref dependent, lol.

haha thank you I am very proud of this. I've been ref dependent for so long, I'm trying to move away from it. It'll take a lot of practice though.
