Another HARPG horse!! Yay! My first mare :)

This is... most obviously, a cremello thoroughbred mare named Vanity Fair. More info coming on her very soon (homework first!!).

Did you know... cremello is a hard color to draw :XD: She was fun to draw! The front leg isn't quite right... eh, and I just couldn't quite get that "glow" or "sheen" to her coat that I wanted, got it in her tail but not the coat. :p

I can't wait to breed her to Snowbird!! Pretty buckskin and smokey black sabino babies here we come :D And if I can find me a chestnut or bay w/ recessive red to bred her to... palomino babies!! :D

Used some screen captures and stills from videos of me riding my horse to finally get the pose right (after much failure) and some pictures of a cremello horse I know for color. About 3-4 hours in photoshop all told :)

Oh yeah, background pic is one I took somewhere in the backwoods of Missouri at a layover spot on our way to the pony club champs in kentucky a year or so ago

:bulletpink: STATS
Name: Vanity Fair
Aka: Vanity
Gender: Mare
Breed: Thoroughbred
Age: 6 years
Bloodline: Foundation bred of purebred jockey club lines. (Milkie decedent)
Height: 16.1hh
Coloration and markings: Cremello coloration, no white markings.
Genetics: ee, aa, CcrCcr
Passable traits: Guaranteed Creme gene. Will produce either a buckskin, palomino, or smokey black when bred to a non dilute horse. Also will always pass on a red gene, and does not have agouti.
Discipline: Eventing
Race record: 1-0-0-0
Eventing accomplishments: Novice: two events, a first and a second finished on dressage score in both. Training: All clear XC, some stadium rails, dressage scores in mid to low 30s. 2 wins out of 5 events, always in top 5.

:bulletpink: ABOUT HER
History: Vanity was trained for the track and started once, finishing near the back of the pack... it wasn't her lack of speed, but her desire to constantly leap over every little shadow and to play with the other horses that distracted her from the idea of racing which is being the first under the wire. So we took her from the track and put her into training more suited to her temperment, a sweet girl, she just wants to jump! As a 5 year old she did two Novice events and was quickly moved up to Training and she finished out the year on the leaderboard. This next year is looking promising as the goal is to tackle a T3DE and then move up to Preliminary with a possible 1* at the end of the season.
Personality: A sweetheart, and a bit of a blonde, you can't help but love her. She is so willing to do anything for anybody. Eats up the jumps, once she locks onto the fence on XC there is no stopping her. She lives for cross country, but she is so soft and light, always asking for more but never demanding it, she rides in a snaffle for all three phases.

:bulletpink: BREEDING
For lease: For private breedings only. Please contact idlewild if you are interested in a foal out of her.
Offspring: DD Gold Bullet, DD Covergirl

thought it was a real horse for a second, lol. Seems to be at home in that background.

Very realistic! I must say, you have done very well with that color! You're right it isn't an easy color to do. I love it. My first real horse was a cremello.

It's such an interesting color, I used to know a cremello pony (who was called "Pinky" of all things ;p), and during the winter I always thought he looked like a fluffy yellow marshmallow :D
Thanks for the great comment!!
