This greyscale took forever , so happy with the result! Also this is one of my first lineless pieces that I've actual had the courage to upload to DA! 

I love this horse more than anything and I'm so happy I was able to make him a Vinstra! (I'll also be adding a new character at EC.) This horse is a recreation of a Dutch Warmblood who I leased over the summer a year ago. You can see a picture of him here  Currently he is retired and located at a stable somewhere else (different from where I ride) and is probably in his mid twenties enjoying retirement

Personality

((used this: fav.me/d6v38bj - Credit to BVicius, Hathien603, BaliroAdmin))
(filled this in myself without the RNG part)
Base Personality: Protector: I posses a strong intuition and trust my instincts above all else. I'm extremely loyal to my rider and willing to take on anything I feel may pose a threat to them.
Quirk 1: Always rubs head on something when the bridle is taken off
Quirk 2: Make angry faces when I pass too close to other horses, personal bubble!
Worst Fear: Things that are there now that weren't there before, Ooooooo, spooky!
Herd Mentality: I don't play, I don't goof - I'm very serious about eating my grass in peace. 
Horse vs. Rider: So you think you can catch me?! Don't make me laugh ... 
Favorite Treat: Peppermints & Carrots
If I could speak my favorite saying would be: "I have a secret passage into the food storage"
Quotes that somehow suits me: 
"He knows when you're happy
He knows when you're comfortable
He knows when you're confident
And he always knows when you have carrots." Author Unknown
