In riding a horse, I truly do feel it's a gift - from the horse, who trusts you enough to allow you on his back and let you take the reins, and to the Lord, for allowing me to feel like I'm dancing.
The sketch is based on the "trot" of the horse, which I had just the perfect stamp for!!! :0) This beautiful mount is expressing a lovely extended trot. (The rider is dressed in traditional dressage attire: a shadbelly and top hat, for those interested!)
Thank you so much for looking!
Blessings,
Chrissy

Very cool sketch - so perfect for your image and papers, Chrissy. LOVE the sentiment too - super true words. I know you feel them personally. Hugz

The vellum is such a nice and elegant touch. Perfect for the elegant rider. Beautiful dp!!

Love the embossed sentiment on vellum ... and the sentiment as well! Lots of horse riding weekends growing up ... but not dressage ... on a cattle/wheat farm?! lol Love the video & details.

What a beautiful horse image and lovely card. I'm sorry to say that I don't find freedom around horses - they are lovely animals but I prefer to have a fence between me and them! I've had too many scary encounters with them. That said, my youngest daughter absolutely LOVES them and loves riding. I'm glad she didn't get my fear!
