Event: First Annual Summer Festival
Class: Dressage

Horse: Disintegration

Horse Age: 10
Rider: Matteo Sciacca

Rider Age: 29

Dissie's first proper in-game show! I wanted to get an entry done for the hunter class with Maddie and one of my other riders, but with university I just do not have time, alas but at least these two get to compete! Disintegration's best eventing sub-class is dressage, so they're entering that for this show. Dissie is showing off the flying changes they've been working on :] soon they'll be ready to start tackling the true upper-level maneuvers. Matteo's still a little wary of the double-bridle so they're still using a snaffle, since Dissie is already really sensitive to commands even in that and will refuse if you use too much pressure -- which is a lot easier to do with a curb! And the whip is just standard gear for dressage competitions to my understanding, but he never uses it.

In any case, that background took me so long. I've been working on this for the past two weeks. Idek how I'm gonna manage a showjumping ring lmao, dressage having just a fence was bad enough. I'm proud of how the sand and the grandstands turned out though! The natural part of the bg was very fun -- loved doing the palm leaves, and I always enjoy some big ol' rainclouds. It's still raining in the distance, but at least these two don't have to deal with active rain as it's passed by in time for the dressage portion of the festival. And I actually painted over the whole horse this time x'D

Eventually hopefully I'll get more confident drawing arenas so that I can go back to my fun angles for things. Until then, though, I need wayyy more practice

EDIT: I'm dumb and hid the top lighting layer. oopsie. its back now
