Today I went to Stacey Riggs‘ barn to watch the second half of a foundation workshop and her “Meet the Mustang” demo.
I took my sketchbook and vowed to work a little on my “plein air” horse technique. I know Stacey’s barn is too dark for good photos, and I am nervous about my October “Plein Air in the Paddock” workshop in Kentucky.
Not as good as Sam Savitt’s sketches, but at least I’m doing the work!
After the clinic I enjoyed Stacey’s demo with her new mustang, General George. Because it’s difficult to get picture, I was only able to capture a few of the more “slow moments.”
-
- General George showed off his “kissing” skills
-
- Stacey demonstrating teaching the Spanish walk.
-
- Stacey says George loves to stand on things. To exercise his mind, Stacey has him roll this barrel.
But only 44 days out of the corals and a week from his first competition, George looks great to me! I know Stacey is looking for help funding her competition with George, so if you are interested you can go to her Go Fund Me page.
What a fun peek at your day Tara! ‘Good on you’ for practicing your sketching before your big trip. These look great to me!
