Challenge Day 10: "If your model horses came to life, what would they do? What adventures would they go on? Pick one of your models and create a mini story, storyboard/comic or images of your models as real life horses, characters or personalities."
Ever since I was young, and I learned to write, I have always loved to write stories and come up with characters. When it comes to the model horse hobby I'm inspired by all the cool photostories and characters that people have created. I haven't done a photostory of my own yet but I have plans to make something in the future with my traditional models (mostly the Warmbloods). This doesn't mean that I haven't started making up characters. On my Riders and Pets page there is a tiny bit of info on my riders.
The characters of the horses are not really written down anywhere as they are based on what feeling I get from the model in question. I'll introduce you to a few of them:
 |
| Chester VS |
Chester is a 9 year old Swedish Warmblood gelding. He is great companion and almost bombproof but he is still far from boring. A forward going and attentive gentleman who really makes you feel safe in the saddle. He loves attention and is always the first one at the fence to greet you when you come. Unfortunately he is afraid of the vet and even though he wouldn't hurt anyone on purpose he is a big horse and he's not really aware of his strength but as long as the one handling him is calm he usually only gets a bit stressed and no one gets hurt. Chester is an all-round horse and can do both dressage, jumping and cross country but he likes jumping the best. He gets really excited and doesn't have the best technique so if you are jumping you really need to keep him focused otherwise it's easy for a pole or two to fall.

| Fandango |
Fandango is a 12 year old Warmblood (have yet to specify which kind). When ridden he listens to his rider and is a really hard worker. He always wants to do his best to please the rider but when your on the ground he is a spoiled brat. His upbringing didn't focus to much on ground manners which made him what he is today. He would definitely not miss a chance to give you a nip if you don't pay close attention and he doesn't really care about if he steps on your foot or the ground. And don't ever make the mistake of thinking that he respects your personal space or that he wouldn't jump on you if something scared him, because he definitely would! You can't leave him alone in the stables because then he tries to tear it apart, equally so if you don't feed him first.

| Belize |
Belize is a 7 year old Warmblood Mare. She's a very smart horse and she's quick to pick up what you are trying to teach her. A sweet and well-mannered mare but she still has a will of her own. She can be a little mischievous at times and she's smart so she is very good at untying knots. Usually she unties herself while your gone to fetch something. Normally she doesn't walk away but to be on the safe side, make sure to tie her so that she can't reach the ends. When in her stall you can usually find her with one of the barn cats sleeping on her back and if any of the female cats have kittens, you can usually find them in Belize's stall as she is very careful with our furry friends, both cats and dogs. Belize is a smart girl so even though she's bred for dressage she is a great horse to try new things with.
This was the last day of the Copperfox 10 Day Challenge. I've had a lot of fun and I'm really proud of the fact that I was able to blog for 10 consecutive days! I really enjoyed the challenges and would love to do something like this again :)
