Description
7th place out of 16. Melody still needs a little work. This being her second halter show we were expecting a little better performance from her. But she did her best and still we are proud of our pretty girl.Here's another Shekinah Valley Vanner baby all grown up and showing well in the show ring! Melody has blossomed into a fantastic mare with a flowering personality to match. I love this girl to pieces!!
Event: 2011 BMa Spring Draft Show
Class: Halter
Name: sVa Saint's Melody
Breed: Gypsy Vanner
Gender:Filly
Age: 4
Height: 15.0hh
Color: Smokey Silver Dapple Sabino masking Pearl
Other Pictures:
< Accompanied Ashfall in the costume event and they wont 1st place. Although Melody wasn't an official entrant, we entered her with him so she could get show experience.
< Melody in her first show, she was a little jittery but she managed, taking 7th place.
I think I'm getting a bit better with grayscale. The horse body is in this picture and I didn't really pic an easy horse to do it with. Her underbelly is a bit off but I'm tired of working on it. But I'm pleased with it nonetheless. I hope you enjoy!

Yey! She will be when her showing career is well underway... and I have this obsession with having the first foals out of my horses. lol But that can only last so long, then I have too many! So she will be open soon.

Awwww wow thank you so much! Your comment truly means a lot to me and I'm so pleased you think I've improved. lol Backgrounds I think are still my downfall, I don't know if I can ever get away from that cartoon-ish feel. But I can always improve. Thank you again for your lovely and encouraging comment!

you're welcome
Just thought you should hear it, since I saw how much you have improved, and I know it can be helpfull as an artist to hear that, when it's true
I like your background, especially colors and the wood effect on the standing poles. Only thing I would suggest working on here to make it all come together a bit more, is the sky. Might be something *BangGoesReality can help with - she just uploaded a brush pack too and is always very helpfull
