Oi people - think before you click!Yesterday I got spammed to hell with messages linking to different variants of this image:
They can have slightly different graphics or contain different links but the message is always basically the same - go to this page and you'll receive 20 000

.
I have to ask the question - how dim do you have to be to fall for it?
Ok let's see - we have an image hosted on a profile that is 1 day old and asks you to visit a website with a strange url with a promise of a financial reward on an another website. How do you even imagine that would work? And now, of course, people start crying that their computers got infected with malware. Which is great - every genius who fell for this obvious phishing scam deserved it. I hope your shitty computer burns and you along with it.
I know this is a no-duh for 90% of people reading it but for the sake of the rest lets revise what we all should know about online phishig. And before you go all:
No, no you can't.

Opinions are a Dangerous thing: Art StylesThis isn't about narking on anyone no, infact this is just my own muses really! You could say this is a journal for ENCOURAGEMENT! *SHINES*
I find sticking to one style restrictive if you are a beginning/moderate artist! (even professionals I might say! though I can't speak for everyone)
Having a distinctive look on how your art is done and produced is understandable and its a desire to appear unique to the point some one can just SEE your work and instantly think 'Oh! that's Ten-days!' or something along the line. However, when you are trying to find who you are and what kind of art you are to produce, I recommend trying, well, a lot of different things! Different styles, mixing styles, different colouring techinque, brushes, tools, shading. Don't feel dependant on what you are already doing and don't feel pressured by people just for trying new things!
Push out of your comfort zone. Can't draw hands? don't avoid it! draw the heck out of them! (how else are you going to learn?)

It's really choppy and suuuuuper scribbly because I took like 30 seconds to draw each frame. Please fill in the gaps and gloss over the art with your wonderful imagination! I made it in Windows Movie Maker which is an absolutely evil program =o=
I'll try to fix up the ugly pictures and maybe add some color when I have time, and reupload another version later :b (don't know when though.) For now feel free to watch this one and laugh at it huhuhu

Brighthelm Training Services

Journal Entry: Fri May 11, 2012, 2:46 AM

I've decided I like doing training pictures of other people's horses so much I'm making this a bit more formal.

Brighthelm Training Services

Brighthelm Stables offer a range of training services to the wider public, from your first riding lesson to helping you with your passage, from backing a four year old to retraining an old racehorse. We offer training in the three major English disciplines as well as pleasure riding and general ground and riding training for horses.

These training sessions are usually available for dA points or an art trade.

Riding lessons available

General riding lessons on the flat
These lessons are suited to less experienced riders, or riders who want to improve general things like their posture. You are welcome to use one of the Brighthelm horses for these lessons, or to bring your own with you.
These lessons may be taken by any of the following members of staff: Aaron Brody, Marion Saunders, Jemima Martins, Tanya Robinson, Pascale de Neveau

Lower level jumping lessons
If you want to learn to jump or are just starting and need help with your position, courses or anything of the sort, these lessons are ideal. As with general lessons on the flat, you are welcome to use a Brighthelm horse or to bring your own.
These lessons may be taken by any of the following members of staff: Aaron Brody, Marion Saunders, Jemima Martins, Tanya Robinson

Dressage lessons
These are more advanced classes, ideal for riders who are coming along in their dressage training and want that extra edge in competition. As with other lessons, you are welcome to use one of our horses or bring your own.
These lessons may be taken by: Aaron Brody, Marion Saunders, Pascale de Neveau

Show Jumping lessons
These advanced lessons are well suited to anyone who wants a few extra pointers on their show jumping, whether you need your horse to pick his feet up more cleanly or want to shave those extra few seconds off your round. As with all other lessons you are welcome to use a Brighthelm horse or bring your own.
These lessons may be taken by: Aaron Brody, Marion Saunders, Jemima Martins

Cross Country Lessons
Our cross country lessons are adapted specifically to suit your own training level. If you are just starting out we will work with you on basics like ditches, or if you're more advanced we are happy to work on whatever you desire. As with all other lessons you are welcome to use a Brighthelm horse or bring your own.
These lessons may be taken by: Aaron Brody, Marion Saunders, Tanya Robinson

Horse Training Available

Basic ground training
We welcome horses of any age, and are happy to work on very basic ground manners with foals. This can include halter training, hoof picks, grooming or anything similar.
Training sessions like this may be taken by any member of staff

Phobia/vice training
At Brighthelm we have a lot of experience of dealing with horses with specific phobias or vices, whether that's being afraid of the farrier or thinking a horse box is going to eat them! Using natural horsemanship methods we will work with your horse to help them overcome their fears or lessen their vices.
Training sessions like this will generally be taken by Aaron Brody or Marion Saunders, though other members of staff can be requested

Breaking in
We are happy to break in or back horses above the age of 3, but prefer horses above 4. We will start basic under saddle training with any horse sent to be backed by us.

Hacking/general riding training
If your horse won't stop napping when you leave the arena or bolts for home as soon as he sees his stable in the distance, we can help. Our hacking and general riding training sessions are designed to help build confidence and rideability in all horses.

Dressage training
This includes all flatwork training from gait changes to piaffe and passage. Lower level sessions will be taken by any member of staff, higher level sessions will be taken by Pascale de Neveau

Jump training
This includes all jump training from cavalettis right up to grand prix class horses. Lower level sessions may be taken by any member of staff apart from Pascale de Neveau, higher level sessions will be taken by Jemima Martins or Marion Saunders

Cross country training
This includes all cross country training from introductions to ditches to working on stamina and high level courses. Lower level sessions may be taken by any member of staff apart from Pascale de Neveau, higher level sessions will be taken by Tanya Robinson or Charles Bonnington

Payment etc

The normal price for a training session is 150 points OR one training image of a Brighthelm horse

If you purchase two training sessions/riding lessons with points then the third session you buy will be half price

If you want to send a horse to Brighthelm for a full retraining schedule we are happy to do this - please contact directly for a quote on price.

We will accept four training slots at any time. Please check below to see if there are any available training sessions before contacting us.

To book a training session or riding lesson, simply send a note with the title 'Training Session' and details of what you'd like and how you'll be paying.

~DressageRider88 Jun 25, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

i would love to buy a show jumping training for my new showjumper son of vulcan

=femalefred Jun 25, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Great ^^ Just send me a note with how you want to pay and what exactly you'd like the training to focus on and I'll add you to the list.

~DressageRider88 Jun 25, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

alright thanks

~Niur-Tarow May 17, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

I'd love to trade with you, but you'll have to wait for links and such until this evening. (I'm only sneaking in some dA before work.)

=femalefred May 19, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Yay for sneaking ^^ i will look forward to your links etc

~Niur-Tarow May 21, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Ok, links!

I've been training in English for a zillion years: Dressage, Haute Ecole, Endurance, Jumping, Cross Country

I'd love it if you could give Magdolna some jumping or XC training. We've decided that she doesn't like dressage, so we want to focus her on the more "intense" sports. She's a bit obstinate, so we're hoping that a more strenuous sport will make her more dedicated.

As far as I know, I am still boarding Thief of Time and Fujiama. I'd love to continue Thief's dressage training, and maybe do some flatwork and saddle manners with Fuji. Let me know if this is acceptable.

=femalefred May 24, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

That sounds great

I'd love to see training with either Thief or Fuji to be honest - if you're up for it I'll do two of Magdolna and you could do one for each of my boys? Or I could take another of your horses for another session

~Niur-Tarow May 24, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Two of Magdolna would be fine.

I'll put Thief and Fuji on my to-do list.

~Maeris May 15, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

I'll do a trade.

Maybe you could halter break Alaya for me before you send her home? I'd love to do some training on Fizz, because he's adorable.

=femalefred May 18, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

That sounds good

Shall I just do some halter training with Alaya?
