Description The final piece from my preview ;3


Competition: Baroque Winter Solstice
Horse: Favory Capriola X [link]
Rider: Silvia Dustle
Class: Costume


Place 1st and Silvia is bronze medalist rider


***************
It has been years since Silvia had owned that worn out Japanese tack, she had almost forgotten it when she found out about the Baroque Winter Solstice, but when her eyes settled on the costume classes, it jumped back from the corner of her mind. She had had spent hour searching for the place she had stored it before finaly finding it, the leather wasn't as bright as it should be, the fabric had lost its bright red colour for a kind of greypink.
She would bring it back to its glorious days, she send the saddle to an old friend, giving Yann a list of what she would need.
She dyied the fabric, made new bobble. She had prepared the old skull, and made up the leg part. She knew exactly which horse would do, and what she would wear.
**********
The day of the competition had come, and Silvia was in front of a mirror, putting red on her lips. "He's ready" Yann said with a smile, he eyed the yound woman from head to toes. "You're beautiful." She smiled in anwser and approached the lipizzanner stallion."What matter is him, you're a beautiful dragon Favour." Yann grinned as the stallion neighed softly. "I added a little thing to his tack."the yound man added. She blinked "What ?" Her gaze passed on the tack, taking glimpse of red line on the stallions fur, she followed the line, noticing the claws, the fake scales. A dragon. "It's time for show." she said after a warm thanks. "Get on your Dragon, Princess." Yann laughed helping her on the saddle, and setting the kimono on the horses back. They walked slowly, performing once in the arena, the dressage stallion doing passage has they showed what they got.

At first I noticed the slim lines on his shoulder and I thought hey wait that's not just random and so I followed them across his body and TADA a dragon
Just like it says in the title
I like that it's not too obvious. That's what makes it mysterious
