i haven’t had much time to draw for myself between intense commission work and knitting projects, but here are some precious foals

Tried to explain to my partner that a 'pony' is a social construct and nearly killed them when I showed them a falabella horse next to an american shetland pony

I'm sorry i don't know what to tell you. An icelandic horse is a horse but a danish riding pony is a pony

Single biggest surprises of this auction (sorted by bids since there are so many)

Those top two????

One is gaited af (yes, mustangs can be gaited):

(she got some attention on facebook too, so that makes sense.)

The other is also gaited, I think, but I am struggling to capture it well.

Regardless, I've not seen horses go for so high by virtue of just being gaited before - I have seen some homes turn around and sell them for it though.

He was, of course, the top horse in the auction, at $5000. Only 72 bids though, meaning folks were making big jumps. He hit 4k in the first ten minutes, no exaggeration.

A handful have found homes!

But that is it. Out of 400 horses.

Carson City has somewhere in the neighborhood (haha) of 400 horses; I likely won't get to them! Most are repeats, with photos from March. There's some cuties, though!
