I have decided to train a couple of Friesians in memory of my beloved grandparents.

I instantly associate birchtrees, lakes, seagulls and summer with them both so if this is incorporated into the manips, I'll love it.

For my nanas pic I want a lively looking horse, kind of cheeky, she was always ready to laugh and play tricks on granddad. She had the biggest heart and everyone loved her.

For granddads pic.. He would sing little nonsense songs making them up as he went, danced when he was happy, LOVED fishing and working on their little house and in the garden.

I like giving a lot of artistic freedom so take what you get inspired by from this text and make whatever you want. I encourage everything like colourchanges and what not. As long as the horse is somewhat like a Friesian in build, I don't mind.

Edit: ooh! You may also play with the meaning of their last name. It means something close to northern light over abandoned meadow if I remember correctly. :)

As for prizes for both contests:

First prize will be one 6 month upgrades along with 200 mil HPD per contest.

Second prize will be one 6 month upgrade per contest.

Third prize will be 100 mil HPD per contest.

I may also be interested in buying non winning entries for a fair price.

Both contests extended! End date 30th of July.

(Life happens, I won't be able to start the horses before then)

EDITS: Changed the prizes around a bit to try and lure more entries. Also added a second theme to play around with.

Bump :)

I don't think I can even beat legaat's entries D:

Legaat your entries are beautiful! 

o.o Thank you, guys! :) But come ooon, Val needs entries! :D

I love this idea. They would be so proud of you! I can't wait to see the entries you get. Legaat's are beautiful :)

Val Val remind me about this next time your in chat with me ok! I forgot hahahah

Edited the prizes a bit and added a second kind of theme to play around with.

I would really like to enter this but I'm not sure if I'll make the deadline. I'll try though!

I decided to give this a shot (after saying I wouldn't), so here's one pic... not sure if I'll make another, but I hope Val likes it :)
