Back to client work after a lovely few summer weeks off with the family. Easing back in with some cosy early autumn vibes over at Evergarden Equestrian. Keeping the transition gentle with soft greens, dry grasses and touches of orange to allow for an easier, lower effort autumn shift across all the regions. Summer’s out, pumpkins are in.

The world's largest bronze equestrian statue was bolted into place on October 25, 2006 at the entrance to El Paso, Texas's international airport. It stands 36 feet tall on an eight-foot base, and is the second-tallest statue in Texas, overshadowed only by a titanic Sam Houston in Huntsville.
The statue, first proposed in the mid-1990s, is of a horse-riding Spanish conquistador named Don Juan de Oñate. It initially drew approval from city officials because Oñate was known for celebrating the first Thanksgiving in The New World, near present-day El Paso, a good twenty years before the Pilgrims did the same in New England. As the project dragged on, however, Oñate's legacy grew more spotty. It turned out that he was known for other things, too, such as taking local Indians who didn't obey his rules (like celebrating Thanksgiving) and having their feet cut off.
In 2003, with construction already underway, the statue's name was changed as a compromise. It became the generic "The Equestrian," even though it was still a statue of Don Juan de Oñate.
Prior to the earthquake of 1755 waterfront warehouses and a royal palace stood on the current site of Praça do Comércio in central Lisbon, Portugal. An equestrian statue of King José I (1714-1777), the monarch at the time of the quake, graces the square.
The weather has been perfect the last few days! A great opportunity to get Stolas out and work on our shoulder movements. It only takes a few passes before any stiffness is worked out. His reach and motion always look so good. We’re hopeful to compete a little this year; get an opportunity at some feedback and grow our skills.
See everyone in the show arena soon!
Horse is one of the hardest build I ever done. Beside getting the pattern realistic, I wanna show more postures about the horse.
This year I want to revisit this project and make the horse pose-able. I rebuild the whole body so that the 4 legs are able to rotate to the angle that the horse should be. Besides, I wanna present the equestrienne “half lifting” riding the horse. The challenges are the whole build of the horse plus equestrienne are too heavy to present multiple postures that I have in my mind. Clear bars for supporting the horse are inevitable. I tried to use less but minimum have to be 6 in parallel. I tried to hide it in multiple places but put in the Centre is most steady for all the postures.
It’s fun for the whole experience.
Traditional equestrian costume which I'm loving from the bottom of my heart.
Black eather equestrian boots are very solid type. So I can feel that boots guard my foot strongly.
Transported a friends horse to a local show, he looked stunning but unfortunately played up in the ring :-(

SINGAPORE, 24 Aug 2010 - Dalma Rushdi H Malhas of Saudi Arabia rides on the horse Flash Top Hat to compete during the jumping individual round B match of Equestrian at the Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games in Singapore, August 24, 2010.
The Hippodrome is a building on the corner of Cranbourn Street and Charing Cross Road in the City of Westminster, London. The name was used for many different theatres and music halls, of which the London Hippodrome is one of only a few survivors. Hippodrome is an archaic word referring to places that host horse races and other forms of equestrian entertainment.
Entry to the venue was through a bar, dressed as a ship's saloon. The performance space featured both a proscenium stage and an arena that sank into a 230 ft, 100,000 gallon water tank (about 400 tons, when full) for aquatic spectacles. The tank featured eight central fountains, and a circle of fountains around the side. Entrances at the side of the auditorium could also be flooded, and used for the entry of boats.[3] Shows included equestrian acts, elephants and polar bears, and acrobats would dive from a minstrels' gallery above a sliding roof, in the centre of the proscenium arch. The auditorium featured cantilevered galleries, removing the columns that often obstructed views in London theatres, the whole was covered by a painted glass retractable roof, that could be illuminated at night.[3] The building included the headquarters of Moss Empires.[4]
Theatre 1909–1951
In 1909, it was reconstructed by Matcham as a music-hall and variety theatre with 1340 seats in stalls, mezzanine, gallery and upper gallery levels. It was here that Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake received its English première by the Ballets Russes in 1910. The Albert de Courville revues were performed here from December 1912.
The Hippodrome hosted the first official jazz gig in the United Kingdom, by the Original Dixieland Jazz Band, in 1919.[5]
Its reputation was for revue and musical comedy, among them The Five O'Clock Girl, the West End production of Vincent Youmans' hit Broadway musical Hit The Deck (1928) and also Mr. Cinders, both in 1929; Ivor Novello's Perchance to Dream in 1945 with Margaret Rutherford; and the revue High Spirits in 1953 with Cyril Ritchard and Diana Churchill. Julie Andrews made her stage debut here at the age of 12. From 1949 to 1951 it was the London equivalent of the Folies Bergère.
The Talk of the Town
The original interior was demolished in 1958, and Bernard Delfont had the Hippodrome converted into the nightclub The Talk of the Town. It featured appearances by many of the popular artistes of the time,[6] including Diana Ross & The Supremes, Judy Garland,[7] Eartha Kitt, Shirley Bassey,[8] The Temptations,[9] Frank Sinatra, Mel Torme, Sammy Davis Jr., Lena Horne, Sergio Franchi, Sophie Tucker, Engelbert Humperdinck, Val Doonican, Lonnie Donegan, The Carpenters, John Denver, Ella Fitzgerald, Liza Minnelli, Tom Jones, The Jackson 5, Buddy Rich, Lulu, Danny La Rue, Cilla Black, Petula Clark, Paul Anka, Glen Campbell, Anne Murray, Sandie Shaw, Johnnie Ray, Matt Monro, The Andrews Sisters, Dolores Gray, Frankie Vaughan, Cliff Richard, The Shadows, Channing Pollock (magician), Dionne Warwick, Raphael, The Seekers, Stevie Wonder, Sacha Distel and Neil Sedaka. In February 1964, Ethel Merman made her only British appearance in a season of cabaret. Dusty Springfield recorded a TV special at the venue, broadcast 15 February 1968 on BBC2 Show of the Week: Live at the Talk of the Town.[10] The Seekers' final concert was recorded for the album The Seekers Live at The Talk of the Town in July 1968. Tony Bennett set his 1972 series for Thames Television, Tony Bennett at the Talk of the Town, there. This form of entertainment, in its turn, fell out of public favour, and the venue closed in 1982.
In 2009, the Hippodrome was named by the Brecon Jazz Festival as one of 12 venues which had made the most important contributions to jazz music in the United Kingdom.[5]
The musical drama End of the Rainbow, nominated for a number of Olivier Awards in 2011 during its London run and Tony Awards in 2012 while on Broadway, is set at the Talk of The Town during a Judy Garland engagement there near the end of her life.
