This weekend we did some observational life drawing at Hunters Grove Stable (again). They had two little babies there 🥰

In addition to drawing, we also learned about horse anatomy and drawing horses from different perspectives. And lots of petting and kisses for all these beautiful horses! Can’t wait to do it again!
