Equestrian Journey: Well I was going to ride.....

Well I was going to ride.....

However, I picked up my drawing pencils and got sidetracked for the whole day!! I had so much fun drawing this. I'm learning new shading and blending techniques and it's really cool! I'll share more as I can.

P.S. I'm really bad at photographing pencil drawings. This looks way better in real life. There isn't as much contrast between the light and dark and it's overall softer in real life. I need to learn how to photograph drawings lol.

Fun!! I love giraffes but have no idea why. I haven't really tried to draw something with real effort for..years and my last college art class. Its like getting back on a horse after years off, I'm scared I lost all technique.

I get the same way Kitty!! I need to practice everyday but I'm bad about not drawing unless I'm inspired, then I do a really good one and I'm afraid to try anything else because it won't be as good LOL!!

Name: Led Zeppelin
Nicknames: Zep
Sire: Unknown (Standard Donkey)
Dam: Unknown (Standard Donkey)
Breed: Standard Donkey
DOB: 2007
Height: N/A
Weight: N/A
Color: Gray (what do you call the donkey color??)

Date Aquired: My dad rescued/bought him shortly before I brought Chrome home, but he gave him to us on 1-18-10.

Likes: Treats, forehead scratches, his buddies and braying early in the morning.
Dislikes: Being handled at all (his first three years were spent in someone's backyard never being touched), sudden movements and sometimes his bratty pasture mate Chrome. :D

I'm in my thirties, live in the USA and I love horses (obviously). I've been obsessed with Friesians (that's Chrome's purebred Friesian sire in the above picture) for over ten years. I started riding horses when I was five and always had horses from then until 2007 when I found myself without one. I wanted a Friesian, but the budget wouldn't allow for it so I started looking at crosses. I found Chrome (Friesian/Arabian) and I haven't regretted it for a second. I bought him as a five month old weanling in 2009 and I've done all of his training myself. The blog is about our continued journey together as I attempt to make him my dream all around horse who can do anything from dressage, competitive trail riding, driving, mounted archery, working equitation and anything else we want to try. He's still very green and we obviously have a long way to go, but you're welcome to follow along on our journey. I also love dogs, art, photography, writing, reading, fishing, biking, camping, archery and many other things. You can learn more about me on my About Me page, my Equestrian Bucket List page and my FAQ page.
