AMG I got second place you guys! WOOT WOOT
Here comes the entry upload train Cho chooo. The cheese factor is through the roof with me lately XD

Anyway, I don't have much to say here right now because stress brain be stress brain but I really like how this turned out! I was really good with time management for once and got this finished a few weeks ago. I thought it was the only entry I was to make but then I also set my sights on making a Cross Country entry as well which will be uploaded after this! With the extra time, I thought I would put a bit more effort in and design a jump, and I am so glad I did! I'm really happy with how it turned out c: Go look at SilvesterVitale 's depiction of it as well, they did such a wonderful job with their entry
Also the birds and cloud "wing" is intentional and kind of alluding back to when Antoine was first mentioned . Coming to ride for Aden's stables for a place to "spread his wings". And here he is doing just that. Up in the clouds. Practically "flying" over jumps. This was totally intended forshadowing, not just an afterthought. Totally. Definitely XDD I have definitely alluded to it other times, but this is the first clear image for it I believe XD
Oh look I had alot to say after all XD

__________________________________________________________________________

Start | Previous | Next

After his workout had concluded and he had got his breakfast, Antoine made his way towards the stables. Rohan perked up as soon as he saw Antoine approach, and thus their little greeting ritual started again. After a few obligatory scratches, Antoine took him out of the stall and gave him the final groom before their class and then tacked him up. He admired his choice of fashion for them both for a moment. The matchy-matchy between his outfit and Rohan’s tack pleased him greatly. Not only did the clothing and tack match, but their headpieces matched as well with the rhinestones. Classy, smaller details, just how Antoine liked it. That was another aspect of himself, he didn’t easily admit to; how much he cared about his looks. He didn’t want to appear vain. Even though as much was kind of evident if you paid close enough attention. He kept himself neat and always tended to fix his clothing and hair before arriving anywhere, even just before arriving at the warm-up arena before the Up in the Clouds Show Jumping class started. He fixed his hair a bit before putting his helmet on and straightening his shirt while taking note that Rohan didn’t seem as fresh as the first two days of the event. He still looked eager to work though. Once they entered the arena, Antoine saddled up and cued the youngster forward. He worked him through the gaits and jumped the jumps set up in the arena. Rohan got a little distracted by some of the surrounding horses, but Antoine got him focused again on the task at hand. Though with the focus came a certain hotness as well as the warm-up progressed. Antoine had expected this and had left room in his course execution plan for cutting the stride count short in some places, just in case Rohan felt extra fresh and energized. Right now, however, he tried his best to rein the energy in to make sure the youngster didn’t lose too much energy before their turn.
Eventually, the pair was called upon; it was finally their turn. They entered the arena, and Antoine showed Rohan some of the jumps as a precaution before the bell rang. As soon as it did, they were off to the first jump. Rohan turned on like a race car, powering forward. As Antoine had predicted, they ended up lengthening their strides and thus cutting the number of them short between some of the jumps. With an extra spring in his step, Rohan overjumped some of them, clearly showing his scope. They were practically flying over them. Antoine let him, but if not harnessed properly, this energy could easily turn into a disadvantage rather than a benefit. Antoine was so focused on this that he didn’t keep track of how many jumps they cleared or didn’t clear. He didn’t sense much around them, not even the Crested Terns flying over their heads, screeching as they went. Rohan seemed to notice them but didn’t react and kept more or less in the zone too. Their round seemed to be going alright, but Antoine would only be able to tell for sure once it was over.
