Description

:iconlakewoodfarmplz:

Event: Ackerley Evolution Competition
Class: Dressage
-with permission to enter in english side saddle-
Horse: Lakewood's Casual Affair
Rider: Chess Knight
-Not in full professional riding attire as the rules were relaxed-

...

Edit: as mentioned earlier, I have now edited it to fix the anatomy issues that were annoying me. Vacancy was really leggy and also had quite a large/heavy head and neck. I've mssed around and I'm much happier with him now, though he is still quite a leggy warmblood :D

This shows Lakewood's indoor riding arena. Its being slowly built up over time so changes do periodically turn up :D

Chess is the resident side saddle rider, so she's the one who's been training Vacancy to do it. This would be an early dressage test with him to see how he's taking to the concept, probably (but Lakewood needs more than just Aphie, so a few are side saddle horses in my head - I'm working on getting that in art, too).

Tack constitutes an english near-side side saddle with basic pad and an english grackle (or figure 8) bridle with a rubber mouth D ring bit. Vacancy crosses his jaw when he overthinks, so the noseband helps with that but we're still playing with the right bit for him.

I wish I had time for a story, but I don't right now. Feel free to imagine as you like :D And as usual, ask away if you have questions.
