My entry for #Artists-of-Equus ' Looking Forward Looking Back Contest.

Looking back on 2012
This is a personal piece. Yes, this is me in the drawing.
I've met Kira, a German Riding Pony mare I ride and look after in summer 2012.
She is sometimes very shy ans still don't trust me completely, but it is getting better with every day. We've spent a lot of time together, going for a ride in the fields and forests around.
I'm not a very corageous rider, and for me she is perfect. I know that she won't do anything mean, she is always easy to handle and gives her best to do what you want from her.
In the drawing, you can see us jumping over a tree trunk. There are many of these more or less natural fences around the stable where I ride, because they hold a fox hunt every year. Most of them are too high for me (yes, for me - Kira jumps them all, even if you would not believe that this small and a little bit - well - fat pony does. ), but there are a few ones with the perfect height, and Kira enjoys jumping them as much as I do.

I'm a little bit proud of this, because I didn't use any photo references at all, please forgive me the horrible anatomy. XD
First, I wanted to draw all of it with Polychromos pencils, but I ruined the background on the original paper, so I cut the horse out and sticked it on a watercolour painting which I made reeeally, really quick (as you can see).
Still, it was fun to do and I enjoyed working freehand, without just copying the reference photo.
Maybe I'm going to do more like this in the future, I have to practise horse anatomy more.
