Description

I'm finally starting to show some of my horses, and, since he is my pride and joy, Mercutio is up first! He's currently entered in angry-horse-for-life's 2016 WBS All Breed Halter and Liberty Show, and the deadline is May 19th, so I really need to get cracking on entries. x.x Why must I procrastinate so?

Pictured with Mercutio in this picture is Angry Horse's mare, WBS Wading in Roses. 

I'm trying out shading for the first time, and I'm not sure if it's coming out good or not, but I hope it will be enough to give Merc a boost in the show!

A sinner's errand boy

You'd say nobody would be so base as to mug a waif. I solemny swear tis not the case. For they got me and hit me and took everything from me, but my tunic. A length of old linen spanning from m neck to my knees, was the extent of their pity. They took my pennies too, so I couldn't pay the board for that night, though I took the oats from some old horse fodder. Good thing nobody was watching and the horse didn't mind. Say what you may about horses. Night was coming so damp, and I wandered around the burgh, hands in my armpits, for it was so cold. And I begged so dearly, but nobody stopped because I looked so dirty, my face ugly blue. It was dark already and I walked to the place where they nail the thieving boys through their right ear on a wooden door and accuse myself so the guards would cloth me, as they do for those. But none was there, all kids had been quick or nice, and I despaired. And I walked up the close, and sought shelter under an ancient oak, and prayed God to

A Walk in the Fields (Poem)

A Walk in the Fields Alt. Title: A Walk Through The Unreal              By J.C. Solis   I sit on my chair as I browse on the screen As I wonder now what all I see means   I create and I draw, I write and I browse All of these things that shock and arouse   Here I am in my peace, in my own little space And yet there's no smile that is on my face   Though I am doing what I love to do For some reason, my heart is not true   My thoughts are in jumbles, the feeling I feel As my mind cannot see what is and not real   I can’t stop my angst, I can’t stop my drive For only through work can I still survive   I am a slave to my work, my art, and my craft To what I’ve created and have posted aft   I must continue what I love and hold dear If only to avoid the things that I still fear   But as I work, the lights all flicker The lights go out like candles and wicker   I am now in the dark, on my working throne And I feel a foreboding right down to my bones   I hear the voices of what I've become A

Killian's Secret

"Are you sure you don't mind if we make a quick stop off at my quarters, Ognir?" Killian asked as they took the transit tube to the residential decks. Ognir didn't respond. His face was glued to the view port, trying to take in all the amazing sights in front of him. Killian was reminded of a dog on a car trip. He suspected that if it had been scientifically possible, Ognir would be sticking his head out of the view port with his tongue hanging out. Amusing as the image was, there were more important things to do. Killian stopped the tube on the Officer Level and with Ognir following a few steps after him. Though he looked healthy as any of the other humans they passed, he guessed he was nearly out of time. How long he had left was anyone's guess. The strange radiation of the Nebula made such estimates difficult and the recent Event had made things even more unpredictable. Ognir was totally out of his depth. Still, as one of the first Orcs to travel to the Station, he was

Influx of Horses

After part of her ranch had went up in flames, Emerald set to rebuilding, as well as adding on across the road. The original grounds would now house the english side, or more so the Thoroughbreds and other breeds while the new grounds across the road came home to the western side of Diamond Dagger Ranch, the original plan for the ranch before Emerald had become over ran with Thoroughbreds at a stable closing sale. None the less the new grounds now consisted of a vet building, two barns, livestock barn with pasture, fowl barn with paddock, an indoor arena and a large pasture. With the finishing of the building in the new year, Emerald soon began adding horses to the barn, first a group of 13 horses were to be coming. The first to come were 5 island born horses, DDR Mountain Man - 3yo Appy Stallion, DDR Roaning A Mile - 3yo Mustang Mare, DDR Bayside Badass - weanling APH Colt, DDR Dreaming of Topaz - 15yo APH mare and DDR Splashin in Diamonds - 13yo APH mare.

CV | Bramble #137 | Coyote Canyon

The herd wove through the dusty canyon single file so as not to fall off the edge of the narrow trail. It was quite a windy day and more than once a gust of wind had threatened to send one of the younger foals off the ridge and into the belly of the canyon below. Bramble normally wouldn’t have led the herd through such a treacherous area but a recent drought had forced his hoof. Now the only thing that stood between the herd and dehydration was this narrow canyon trail. For just a ways ahead the trail broadened, leading to a pool of rainwater the horses could quench their thirst in. Rigel and Boulder had chosen to stay at the back of the line to ensure there would be no stragglers. However, as the sun beat down upon the yearling colts’ backs and their mouths became dry like cotton, they began to regret their noble decision. Especially as they were stuck behind the very pregnant and very slow Anita. She waddled, her large belly swaying from side to side, and as she went her belly

CV | Sreten #137-2 | Vacations Over

The first snowfall of the season brought a mixture of emotions to Sreten’s herd. Some were grateful for the shelter and food provided by the two-leggeds during this time. Whilst still others were apprehensive and eager to be on their way once more. Sreten, for one, was not at all bothered by their extended stay. They had food, water, and shelter. And they were protected from predators and bachelors alike. Gemini, on the other hoof, griped that the stocky grullo was too apathetic in regards to their dire situation.  Their endless bickering had sent poor Libra into labor early, the maiden chestnut mare giving birth to two healthy, albeit small, foals. A filly and a colt. Ginger, the filly, was an adorable red dun tobiano with the same lip marking as her grandsire Ajax. She reminded Libra and Gemini fondly of the roan stallion very much. The colt, Codigo, was equally striking. He sported a dark bay dun coat with flashes of white stripes throughout. Sreten was over the moon with his new

CV | Twitterpated Event 2025 | Partners in Crime

Rohan paced the fenceline, hooves wearing a path in the trodden earth. Long green grass damp with morning dew wet his legs as he brushed past. The morning was dreary with no sign of sunlight through the thick onset of fog. It made it difficult for Rohan to see the nearby treeline where he’d desperately watched for any signs of life. He’d been separated from his sister and traveling companion, Holly and her young colt Sandstone, whilst in search of their cousin’s herd. They’d planned to join Bramble for the spring to give Sandstone some stability and sense of familiar bonds. But instead their plans had been interrupted by some rather pesky two leggeds and their insipid ropes. At the time of Rohan’s capture Holly and Sandstone had opted to stay back in the meadow to graze whilst Rohan scouted the area surrounding them. After establishing a perimeter and ensuring their immediate safety the painted overo stallion took some time to himself to cool off in a mountain stream. He’d allowed

Exhaustion burned, ached, like a thousand insect bites and summer heat, nothing like Shoshone had ever endured. As a hard playing filly she’d been sore before. Of course, a filly can’t always sleep when she’d like, and keeping up with the herd can be exhausting for any young hooves. This second sunrise crept up the sky, hateful to the captured mare's bleary gaze. Birds songs were no more welcome than dew drawn gnats, and the flies they brought that sought her sweat salted scrapes. Impulse flicked Shoshones dark tail across her haunches without a thought. “Mornin’” Nickered an unfortunately familiar and decidedly odd voice. Lips pulled back in a sneer that threatened violence out of mere reflex, the mare did not gift him her gaze instead throwing her head in response. He huffed out a pride bruised snort before shuffling over to a dew soaked patch of fodder. Shoshones own tongue felt dry, and her stomach empty, but all she wanted was to run though her legs were so very

Shoshone did not recall laying down, though her legs had been so sore, so tired. She woke with grass tickling her nostril, ribs aching just the same as her full bladder. How long had she been sleeping in the grass? Sneezing the thought away, the roan mare sat up and opened her eyes to the beginnings of a brilliant sunrise. Long rays of shadow and sunrays across cloud clusters held promises of pinks, and oranges. She could have watched through the morning hours, if not for bodily demands. "Please, listen, M-Maeve," Gillius whispered tightly, shameless pleading dripping from each stumbling word. "No. No thank you sir. We have all spoken more than enough on the matter. Your mare and you have things to work out, and I wont have my filly in dangers way because of her," the mare spoke with a firm finality even in a whisper, though her next words were nearly muttered, "or frankly yourself. S-sir." "Oh, stop that," Shoshone whinnied before rocking back to kick up her forelegs and then

Exhausted Meeting of Heightened Emotions ||CW||

Was a single mare really worth a multitude of days spent fighting? Maybe. The red stud wasn’t so sure when Shoshone woke from her nap with only a renewed fire in her hooves. Every friendly head dip her way earned him a squeal, even half a step too close had her hind hooves spinning his way. Was there really nothing he could do to warm her attentions? Shoshone knew he did not want to be friendly. He might be a lone stud, but he wasn’t her lone stud. Her Gillius. She’d swear she could smell her stud. The red stranger’s nostrils flaring, head lifted, eased her worry of hallucinations. “Git movin’ girly,” he whistled, head snaking low with ears tightly back. Those bared teeth had proven their bite. “Not a chance,” Shoshone shrieked in response, hooves flying. She knew he wouldn’t allow her time to negotiate.  Gillius pale form came over the hill and his mares heart leapt into her throat. A vengeful bite into her haunch had the speckled mare squealing as she kicked out again
