Im so happy with this! So happy, and i did pritty much everything today oghesigh yay
This is the first peice of art this year.. as ive got time for it for a bit. woopwoop.

Leon knew it would be a long shot putting him into a show now, but TARDIS seemed to be settled with jumping at home. After a long period of training he'd become fearless at jumping.. well, moderately fearless. He was still only really a baby and had the occatioal spook at random things. it didnt phase Leon and he had only fallen off when the stallion was trying to get him off.. but with a new saddle that had seemed to settle him more. The Winter wonderland show was the perfect place to get him used to the show atmosphere.

When the duo arrived, a eger little dakota coming to help too, TARDIS was given a stable and he seemed to be pritty calm. However, Leon was bored, he had to wait untill the end of the month untill he could compeate in the show jumping and there was a limit to the amount of classes he could watch.. but not partisipate in.

Finally his time came to ride and TARDIS was all tacked up and ready. He was dancing on his toes a little in the warm up and as soon as Leon aske for canter he was off, Broncing down the long side untill Leon managed to get him more focased, in a good outline so he didnt freak out as easily.

Lucky he was settled enough just before they had to go into the show ring and leon smiled, patting the chestnuts neck before cantering him forwards.He snorted, swishing his flaxen tail before pushing forwards with his hind legs in a uphill canter. He snorted with every stride and leon kept him under control as they headed for the first jump...
