I realized I never shared these. I spent some time playing with ink, even participated in about half of inktober. It’s been really fun to learn a bit more about handling markers.

Neck rein
It’s been pretty mild here–in between days of genuinely bitter cold–but the footing has stayed pretty good. We’re still working on understanding life with a bitless bridle–and I’ve started using the neck rein–holding both the neck rein and the reins as if using a double bridle or something.
Midas loves it.
I mean….we’re not going around looking like a dressage pony, but he steers shockingly well, and stops pretty wel also.
It’s also meant that when I ditch the bridle entirely and just use the neck rein, he handles really well.
On our way to liberty riding! But, I need to spend some time brushing up on my sitting trot, first. Because Midas says he doesn’t believe I can really steer when we’re trotting bareback.
Independent seat, here I come. Right?
Accepting Commissions
Emerald Horse on Redbubble
I’ve actually been doing commissions for a couple years, but this is the first time I’m saying so online. And, the first time I’m offering you the chance to commission me to do a piece for you! You can message me on Facebook or shoot me an email and we’ll talk! Pricing would depend on the size and complexity of the piece. I do hand lettering as well as playing with inks and watercolors.
New in the shop
There is new art in my
Redbubble and society 6 shops. I sometimes forget to mention that here!
These new editions are minimal on color, big on bold lines. They are, of course, available on a variety of products. All three are available on Redbubble.
