Buckle up, guys - this is going to be a ride

This will (I hope) be updated daily. Each day another horse will appear somewhere in the Winter Cottage, and I'll be re-notifying people when that happens so no one misses it. Apologies right now to anyone who isn't interested for having to delete it from their inbox for the next several days ^^
...

Day 1: s1088 's Beanie and Ona
(I adore this pair; Beanie has such a wonderful design and she's always drawn with such love).
Day 2: Scutterland 's Odyssey
(I do like my realistic horses but...I mean...he looks like a treasure map! And several people voted for him, too).
Day 3: z0mbiekid 's Zombie
(One of Z0mbie's had to be on here and this guy had a few votes, so... So glad you got him back).
Day 4: TealMagpie 's Athena
(This girl's little golden chains feel nicely Christmassy. Thank you for all the work you do).
Day 5: monymay14 's Sunshine
(You really can never have enough flaxen chestnut Arabians in the world).
Day 6: ReQuay 's Kalapi
(I've drawn Keira before, and I know Kala is a favourite of yours, so she won out. She's such a pretty example of the Faime Peacock population).
Day 7: TigressDesign 's Errol
(You have no idea how hard it was to find a horse of yours that is even moderately natural looking But I adore Errol anyway, so he wins).
Day 8: sobreiros ' Gattaca
(I still remember our conversations over this girl's story and she's one of my favourites of yours You really brought her to life).
Day 9: newvoh 's Sunset
(I feel like we really got talking over wilties at first, but this guy was great to see in the Halloween prompts and his design is lovely).
Day 10: Drasayer 's Abalone
(This guy got a couple of votes and honestly, his face is adorable. Plus, awesome name).
Day 11: Kryptic-NordDivision 's Epona
(Well who else was I going to choose? As well as having a few votes, she's clearly special to you ^^).
Day 12: EmeraldTheWoof 's Rhaegar
(This guy got the most votes, and of course he's a stunner Had to include him and thanks Emerald for putting up with tons of my questions).
Day 13: MissDudette 's Frodo
(How could I miss out your favourite Timekin? I've missed drawing them, not to mention talking to you, so here he is).
Day 14: Shotechi 's Dova
(Definitely wasn't going to miss you out! I was hard pressed to choose which of yours but Dova is lovely and he got a vote so he won).
Day 15: ofcowardiceandkings ' Felix
(Naturally one of yours was going to be here Its ages since we've spoken but I'm glad you're back around dA and doing art).
Day 16: CrazedxMia 's Lagertha
(Mia its been great getting to talk to you and this girl of yours was a joy to draw - my first Hototo picture).
Day 17: Shayla-Estate 's Messenger
(Shayla our random conversations and your constant support of my doodles are wonderful. This guy won between the two that were suggested).
Day 18: Cloudrunner64 's Fool's Gold
(This guy is one of the classic favourites I think and such gorgeous colouring. Thanks for all your hard work and dedication Cloud).
Day 19: Kartoffelpueh 's Andrasta
(This little mare got a vote and I'm also a big - if silent - fan of your artwork and its great to see her adventures in your gallery).
Day 20: KAHarder 's Sylvia
(Its always great chatting with you and this little mare is just so pretty, it just had to be her).
Day 21: strideroo 's Gemma Ignis
(It is always wonderful to catch up with you and have our wild discussions. I know you've moved away from natural HARPG, but Gemma won out here).
Day 22: HoT-Stables ' PumpkinSpice
(I haven't been in Nordanners long, but already I can see how much you dedicate to the community. And Punkin has such a lovely design).
Day 23: Kokopelli-Stable 's Solstice
(I haven't commented on your work for some time, but most of my favourite Arabians seemed to disappear, but yours - especially Sol - are still around).
Day 24: WesternSpice 's Monteriggioni
(Of course you're here! I love our random conversations. It was going to be Whiskey but I adore Monty and then I saw him on your favourites line up so... ^^).
Day 25: And finally, my own Vacancy
I've included Nordies, and Arabians and Faimes, so I thought this guy could level the playing field as a Yakimi warmblood (and I adore his face).

THIS IS THE FINAL UPDATE. ITS ALL OVER!

EDIT: lol, I forgot Santa! He's there now. I promise I'm finally done fussing with this

You will hopefully have noticed some fun additions to the whole image in celebration and that Vacancy seems to have acquired a red panda. (Don't ask too many questions. I just really want a red panda, okay? XD)

Well these guys are hauling in everything they need and decorating the Winter Cottage for an epic Christmas (also don't ask how they're all fitting inside). I hope all of you had a wonderful one as well!
.

Its been a crazy ride, guys! I can't quite believe I've done it, and managed to update every day, either! I'm so sorry to all the people I just couldn't include - there are so many of you guys I'd love to have gifted, but there's just not enough days in December. Someone should complain about that. I also debated going to the 31st, but honestly, I can't see there's enough space left for another 6 ponies without them looking overly crushed in.

Thanks for following this along, to all of you who did. All your feedback and comments have been amazing and helped me push to keep the ponies appearing on time.

...

The background took hours to put together, but I really wanted something a bit more dimensional and interactive than just windows. Unfortunately it means there's a few of the 24 days that won't be full body, but I'm pretty happy with how its working out so far. Hope you enjoy seeing it come together!

No refs have been used for any of this (other than character references). The interior of the house is decidedly and intentionally not perfect; just for impression, really.
