Well, it’s late, but I finally had time to squeeze in some art. This is my annual Valentine’s Day drawing I do every year for a fandom I’ve been a part of for a long time. This year I chose Squall and Rinoa from Final Fantasy VIII going horseback riding together. It’s kinda rushed because I was in a rush to get it done before I run out of time to finish any art right now. It’s just kinda stressful here. Anyway, here you go folks! I hope everyone had a Happy Valentine’s Day! ^_^
Many of the joys my horses bring me. I’m very blessed to own these beautiful mares.
asking for a signal boost for good vibes and maybe some luck/healing spells
see, I have this horse. her name was ‘beauty’ when I bought her, but I call her ‘Khaleesi’ bc she’s a queen to me and I love her. I bought her informally, simply because I was looking for a full-size horse (i raise miniatures) to relearn to ride after I had been in an accident that shattered my legs in 13 places. Also, simply to bond with.
I found what I was told was a 10-year-old quarter horse with a ‘ghost eye’ (a blue eye) and I fell in LOVE. The man I bought her from was someone I’ve known since I was six, and I trusted him to help me find a good horse. I had a vet check her out, and everything appeared fine. She had a gentle nature, kind eyes, she was steady and willing to work, and happy to be around me. And unlike many of my own horses, she had no aversion to my wheelchair.
i would go into her paddock in my chair, and she would walk over and simply lay her head into my lap. she’d hang out there for hours if I stayed long enough, and she’d just- let me talk to her, and stroke her ears. it was a communion of souls, honestly- we learned eachother. she understood me and i understood her.
lately i’d noticed that she was a little lame- just, whenever the ground was hard she would have a little bit of ‘ouch’ whenever she placed one of her feet down. Specifically her left foreleg. Honestly, I attributed to a bad farrier- and I wasn’t entirely wrong. He’d been cutting her wrong and I quickly changed farriers. My new guy is amazing, and he loves this girl as much as I do.
and she did improve with him, she did. Many less ‘ouchy’ episodes. But they still happened, and so I decided x-rays were the way to go. I wanted to know what was wrong, and I wanted to work to get her better, to make her better.
well.
well.
first of all she’s somewhere between 15-18, which, you know, i don’t mind. still a super good age for a regular riding horse and even an athlete.
second, though.
while with the people who had her first apparently, she foundered. which, ok it does happen. but they let it go. they didn’t treat it. they didn’t manage it. so the chronic swelling in the worse foot caused a deformation of the coffin bone, or the bone in her hoof. She has a problem called a ‘ski hook’
this causes her pain. it causes swelling. she will never be able to be ridden regularly, and she LOVES to have a rider. she will never again be able to do a sport with a rider- which she loved. she will never be able to gallop flat out with a rider- which she loved. she can still, sometimes, be ridden on a trail no faster than a slow canter. not often. i will need to manage her pain for the rest of her life.
i don’t care. i’ll do it. i’ll do any and everything for her. i’ll make her know she’s loved, and special, and i’ll do anything and everything my vet can think of to help her pain so that she has the best life i can give to her. her care might grow to be expensive- but i don’t care about that either. she’s WORTH it. she wasn’t to the people who had her before me. she is to me. she is.
i’m not asking for money. i don’t want to ask anyone for money.
but i’d just love some good vibes for my girl, because all y’all on tumblr came through with amazing vibes and spells and well wishes when i had a sick horse once before.
please give khaleesi your love. this horse has a soul that shines brighter than the sun.
JUST HORSES!
Every horse movie
Sarah aynn: “no one understands me I hate you Mom for making us move out here in the middle of no where there’s not even cute boys” *runs away and finds mysterious farm* Old man wilkinson: “this right here lil lady is a hourisey if yer can tame t it’s yoires if not it’s goin back to the horse factory” Sarsjh: *walks up to horse and starts to pet its nose* “see girl? You and me aren’t so different after all” Old man wonka: “why I don’t believe it she done tamed ol’ misery I reckon she ought to sign her up for the horuse show and save the farm” *cut scene of Sarah sneaking out the house to ride her horse everyday until her mom finds out* Mom: “young lady you are GROUNDED!!!! You are not allowed to compete in the horse show” Staryah: “no Mom please” *runs away and almost gets hit by car but then the horse pushes the car out the way" Mom: “fucjkfidnb maybe that’s a good horse after all”
My heart is so full. She was napping when I got to the barn and waking up. I came into her stall and crouched down and cuddled with her while she woke up. She was completely trusting of me. She didn’t stand up til I started preparing their dinner. This was such a special moment. 💖

how did you shrink this Clydesdale?
Never wash and then tumble dry your clydesdale
Velvet knows she’s cute af and she wears her hay with style, sass and class.
When your horse knows she’s gorgeous!!! 💖😍
I love her so much.
Merry Christmas from Holly, Velvet and me. May you have a blessed one with your families and friends. 🎄❄️
Two horse art commissions for a friend done as Christmas gifts. These guys were very fun and challenging to draw. I’m working on trying to better myself in drawing horses. Hopefully, I can achieve that. She’s in love with them so I guess that’s a good thing! ^_^
This mare and I have bonded so quickly. I really love her!

what happened here?
Jack (the horse) is 28 years old and instead of putting him in a turnout pen during the day we just let him roam the property. He usually sticks around the barn, grazing or just standing around. But his favorite thing to do is lay down in various random spots that he feels are comfortable. Every morning after they drag the arena footing he goes and flops down in the soft dirt. Whenever we get a new shipment of shavings you better believe Jack is right there rolling in them once the truck leaves.
This was one of his ground-softness-testings. The aisle is all rubber so it’s not hard but I doubt it was very comfortable. Jack would beg to differ.
this makes the picture 100x better. what a happy old man.
This post has by far the highest amount of notes out of all my posts so I figured it would be something that I should post a follow up on. My trainer, Jack’s owner, posted this on Facebook today and I wanted to share it with you all.
My beautiful Holly. I love her so much.
