Description I. HATE. TACK.
No comment about it, please! (I don't know how to say this more clearly. Don't. Mention. The. Tack.) This piece has caused me enough havoc for one day, thanks. I'd recommend not full-viewing, lmao. It's just.. a mess.

Oh man. I've been meaning to do a Baroque/Iberian bridled horse (actually, I would've loved fully tacked), but... god damn. either tack is an artist's worst enemy, or I just uberfail at this stuff.

Anyway, this is Othello, a purebred Friesian stallion to add to my Double Dance stud bank, lol. And, ladies.. he's available! ;D




----------


Registered Name: DD À la Mode
Barn Name: Othello
Gender: Stallion
D.O.B.: 12/13/1993
Breed: Friesian
Bloodline: Foundation import
Phenotype: Black. Jet/raven black (non-fading) coat, with a highly lustrous, glossy, almost blueish sheen to it. Mane and tail are extremely long (mane waves down to his his side, and the tail drags on the floor), very abundant, heavy, wavered, and shiny, thanks to great conditioning.
Eyes: Warm brown
Genotype: AaAa / EE
Height: 17.1hh
Build: Stunning, robust Baroque build, with broad chest, convex roman nose, large, inquisitive eyes, elegant posture, has a great presence, and carries himself briskly and flawlessly. Boasts a springy, high-stepping natural trot, and has a generally flowing, graceful, nimble, easy, smooth gait. Bears thick, curly feathers at his feet, powerful, sloping shoulders, compact and muscular body type, long, craned neck, strong hindquarters and a low-set tail. These characteristics are, in part, what approved him in the FPS Studbook.
Breeder: N/A
Owner/trainer: ~Hazel-rah of Double Dance.
Temperament: A bit of a show-off, especially to the ladies and at shows, but he really has a heart of gold. Is noble, kindhearted, gentle, caring, sweet, and generally a big, cuddly teddy bear with a superb disposition. Is a marvel undersaddle, always willing and obedient, attentive and careful. Copes amazingly in stressful, high-drama environments, and he's virtually bombproof.
Discipline(s): Haute École Dressage, sjees Driving, Medieval show stunt tricks (jousting, plays, theatrical performances, etc.), and a bit of halter
History: Imported from Netherlands's finest pastures, at 12 years of age. He continued training and eventing with us, even to this day, proving to not only be a stunning horse in the show ring, but also a superb sire. It is said that his own sire, "Shakespeare" (a.k.a. William), was the renown star of a very famous medieval show that toured across the world. As such, Othello now sometimes performs in similar events (usually serving the "Black Knight"), as well as circus type home-run shows.
Awards & Winnings: IFSHA Horse of the Year, WCHA Friesian division grand champ, USDF National Champion, and Olympic Team Dressage bronze medalist are some of his finest achievements.
Offspring: DD Vogue (black filly out of KhC Warped Reality , owned by ~Hazel-rah ).
Restrictions: Must be bred to realistic colored, pure Friesian mares only (please DevNote me to discuss otherwise.)
Availability: Currently available for private bookings. PM me to see if your mare is approved, if you're interested.

I adore the shading! It's so smooth and shiny! I think the bridle looks good considering you hated making the you-know-what (forbidden to say the "t" word.) I love the mane, too. It adds drama.

Tack isn't an artist's worst enemy, art theives are for the most part.
I think you did a wonderful job on it, I know I personally can't draw tack even if it saved me from a bunch of pirhanas,sharks(mainly leopard sharks), and cacti.

The eye and the tack really shine out in this picture! (that's a good thing)
