Spring Sundown

So.. How can I start? I have to say, that I freakin' adore this breed! Hototos are big, fluffy and beautiful - so actually that, what I like most! I stalked this breed since I joined Harpg. And that's nearly 2 years ago. I always wanted to have a Hototo by myself. I know, it was all the time possible to make a starter, but I couldn't come up with a design I like... And now, at the Hototo-Auction that's going on was one design that catched my eye! I looked at the auction sheet and my eyes went automatically at this guy. I really love him! And then, when I saw that he is open for art auction I couldn't resist. I jus HAD to draw him <3 Now I put ~12h of work into this piece of art, and I'm really proud of it! (I drew every single blade of grass by myself! it sure killed me x3)

The stallion looked through a lot of humans. He wasn't sure why there were so many of them, but he was pissed by all those views on him. But he does everything - the humans didn't want to go away, no, all the time there came new ones. What he didn't knew, one of the humans would take him to a new home.

One of the humans that stand right before the meadow was Hajito. He heard that there would be an auction of some Hototos and wanted to take a look, as he was interested in this breed for a long time. And that stallion, Jordnära, catched his eyes. The blue roan in combination with the silver gene and those brown stripes: a dream on 4 legs! Hajito looked into the paper that was given to everyone who's interested in a Hototo. There were some infos of this stallion given. He read that the stallion is a carriage horse. 'Noo...' He thought. At the stable was no person who could drive a carriage. In this moment his mobile ringed. "Yes?" "Hajito! We got an application letter of an older man. He was a dressage trainer a long time and can drive carriages. What do you think?" Right as Hajito heard the word 'Carriage' he said "Yes, we accept him!" and hung his mobile up. He looked at the stallion again. Right in this moment Jardnära reared and showed the people again how beautiful he is.

"And number 15 is a silver blue roan stallion with interesting white spots on his muzzle. Surely a nice trade of his. He can stand still for hours, but he can also jump straight up in the air. It all depends on his mood for the day. He is very hard to get a read on. He is very strong and can pull very heavy and maybe that makes him to a good carriage horse. Any bids?”
