The spring is on it's way and the flowers are blooming and the animals are waking up! Let's celebrate the spring with an event!

The event will be judged by effort! Training pictures and extra pictures will NOT give you extra points!
You can draw whatever you like! Even a horse rearing/bucking in dressage or a horse who refuse to jump! You won't loose  any points for that! Be creative, use you imagination!
And be colorful! The spring has so many beautiful colors! Why not draw some colorful tack? Maybe a pink bridle? ^^
