Gosh..the last photo (the xc one!) with mustache guy is my fave <3 It's so realistic! That water is just I approve! Did you know in Japan, "Habu" means snake?

Mira (Mira Green) 2017-07-06 15:56:04 UTC #164

I realy like the dressage photo

luna (Luna Andrews) 2017-07-10 21:44:40 UTC #165

Thank you so very much Annie!

Back in the t show days that cross country pic of Habu won his class. I believe it was the first ever 1st place we got, so it has a very special place in my heart too! I love editing water, speaking of which I should definitely make some swimming with horses pics this summer!! I have had this idea for... years... but never had time to actually do those.

And actually – I do know that Habu means snake in Japan I used to go geocaching a few years ago and we tried to find one very tricky one which was called "habumainen" (habu-a-like could be a translation for this one). Like I said, it was very tricky and we had to google a lot to get some hints and during that time I found out the meaning in Japan However, our Habu is such a sweet boy, nothing snake-a-like : D

Thank you, Mira ^_____^

Here he is posing with his rider Loviisa showing off his cool ribbons

Where you get that stone walls next to the wood gate? D:
And your Building Skills just overloaded!

Kate (Kate Callaghan ) 2017-07-30 12:03:43 UTC #176

Where u found the columms ? D:

luna (Luna Andrews) 2017-07-31 15:14:01 UTC #177

I wish I could somehow describe you how heartwarming it is to read your comments, hon Thank you so much for your compliments!

Hehe I wish there was an actual flower crown accessory for horses but for now I need to settle editing those everywhere Thank you so much

Thank you all!

Thank you so much, Kate! ^^ Next to the wooden gate are Ariès Provensim Curved Entrance Walls by Joséphine Westerling. For the second question; I have mix & match so many different columns for my stables so I'm not sure which ones you mean, but most of them are from TSR so I'm pretty sure whatever you're looking for can be found from there

During my journey at Equus Community and Equus-Sims I’ve been lucky enough to get to know so many wonderful fellow simmers. Especially one of them has become very special to me, and I truly believe she is my soul sister. She has been with us since the beginning of Ratsumäki, and today this beautiful lady from Switzerland has arrived to visit Ratsumäki for the first time. I’m so excited to welcome you to Finland, @BreeAsgard More photos to come!

Grace (Grace Phoenix) 2017-08-01 14:41:20 UTC #179

your/bree's sims are so pretty

callixta (Callixta Rosella) 2017-08-04 17:45:53 UTC #180

Oops...I missed a lot.
Again.

Lumori is so handsome, and it's such a lovely name too! Does it mean anything in particular?
Big congrats to him and his rider for achieving the International champion title, that's quite an impressive feat. He certainly deserves those rosettes on his bridle <3
And the pictures with Bree...how cute! You are hands down one of my favourite landscape photographers in sims, how on earth you make trees and flowers look so amazing is beyond me, but I'm always delighted to find more nature in your scrapbook. I can't wait to see more of Bree's trip and what trouble you two got up to during her visit!

luna (Luna Andrews) 2017-08-05 17:54:50 UTC #181

Thank you so much, Grace

Comments from you always warm my heart

Lumori is such a handsome fella – I really should get more babies by him! It's crazy how fast time passes and he is almost white nowadays when he used to be dappled grey... His name is kind of mix of two words. The beginning, 'lumo' means enchantment, and 'ori' means stallion, and his name is mix and match of those two words. ^____^

I have had Bree's file hanging in my sim bin forever and finally I had time to actually do the pics of her! It's so great in this game that we are actually able to not only sell actual horses to each other but also visit each others' stables. I really enjoyed creating these pics and the ones I'm going to publish soon.

And thank you so much, I'm happy my sceneries are liked! I really like taking them because they're so lax and require minimal to no edits.

The week with @BreeAsgard has gone so fast, and I have loved every moment of it! Most of our time has gone – surprise, surprise – with horses, and this post is all about that! Thank you Bree so much for visiting; I really hope you will come again too because I had so many ideas for pics but had very limited time to make them... for now

During the week there were a few rainy days... But that was such an amazing excuse to use our indoor arena One of the top things on Bree's Ratsumäki to do list was to get to ride with Unikuva, who is R.M. Uniikki's – first ever Finnhorse to arrive at Asgard stud – sire. Unikuva can stress a little when he meets new people, but with Bree he got relaxed very fast

Bree and Haakon CH ready to go to do some jumps! Haiku was a Christmas present from Bree back in 2015

During the week the heat finally reached our northern country. Riding during daytime become rather impossible, but riding in the sunset isn't that bad isn't it? Bree bought young Finnhorse stallion R.M. Kuiskeri (out of Kuutar) at the end of the 2016 from our Frosty Finnhorse Sale, and here she is testing his sire Ajan Kuiske who is very close to his International Champion title in dressage.

I think a visit at Ratsumäki isn't fully satisfying without party pancakes at stable attic! They taste so good with newly picked blueberries and company such as Bree is

At the last evening at Ratsumäki we went to explore the woods of Utula. Bree decided to go with R.M. Kaunokki, who is daughter of her R.M. Uniikki and grand daughter of Tuhatkauno. They really bonded during that adventure

Thank you so much Bree for visiting, I love you :heart:
There will be one more photo soon!
