***Contest ends on the 15th***

Soooo I'm obsessed with the new breed art and I know tack changes are coming soon, but in the meantime I would love to have some help tacking up my barn!

I will be awarding two large prizes:
Fantasy - 500k
Non-Fantasy - 500k
+ 25k for every entry

All entries MUST be on a Fresian body type, a big focus of the rewards will be the creativity put in to fitting the original tack items to the new body art (like @RKOHaven has done with the Suffolk harnesses)

I *think* I own all the tack packs so feel free to use whichever one you want. Also very open to shrinking the Fresian down to fit into smaller backgrounds for now like I've seen @LookingGood do already!

To submit an entry:
1. Choose a horse to tack up from this buddy chat (limit 2 per person)
Fresian Contest Pick Up
2. Tack up your horse (limit one per person per category, but you can change your entry if you want!)
3. Post the horse here to show off your hard work! You can continue editing and modifying the horse until I get ready to close the contest and then I will ask for all horses to be listed in the chatroom below.
3. List that horse in this chatroom for 25,000 to officially submit your entry
Fresian Contest Drop Off

Here's what I'm looking for:

Fantasy: Mainly looking to outfit this guy and all his future babies with some awesome fantasy components.
*This fantasy tack up will be done on Non-Fantasy Fresians with fantasy tack, just trying to give inspiration!*

LH1 Olive the Above

Non-Fantasy: Looking for realistic tack ups and would love to see more of the new barn builder packs too! (I'm looking at you @TripleGFarm ;) )! Would be used for horses like this!

I bought one of your horses and copied tack. Every time I copy tack, there's rearranging/fixing I have to do. It currently showing your background, but the copied tack background is there too.

It's meant to be like an indoor/outdoor arena :)

LadyhawkeStables · Aug 2, 2023 12:37 PM

@LookingGood - Sorry should've clarified, just do fantasy tack on a regular horse! I don't have many fantasys yet either!

ETA: By regular I meant "Non-Fantasy". All entries do need to be on a Fresian which I am happy to provide!

LookingGood · Aug 2, 2023 5:03 PM

@LadyhawkeStables I just worked 3 shifts back to back and have had no sleep. I can do the tack on any horse since you're going to copy the tack *facepalm* lol

WillowRidgeFarm · Aug 2, 2023 6:55 PM

If you send me a horse I would love to take a stab at this. I’ll do an entry for both fantasy and non-fantasy (:

LadyhawkeStables · Aug 2, 2023 7:12 PM

Hahaha this is a bit of a weird contest so totally understand the confusion @LookingGood! I accepted you and @DarkPhoenix into the buddy chat - don't forget to list and also looks like you may need to refresh your image again!

DarkPhoenix · Aug 2, 2023 8:01 PM

I’d love to tack up some non fantasy horses if you sent a horse or two to me as well. Or, (if im understanding correctly) I’ll just tack up a normal horse and then send them to you. :)

TripleGFarm · Aug 2, 2023 9:26 PM

I'll take a shot since you asked. ;) Could you hook me up with a fresian?

LadyhawkeStables · Aug 3, 2023 5:06 AM

Ugh I'm sorry guys I suck at explaining. All entries MUST be on a Fresian body type, a big focus of the rewards will be the creativity put in to fitting the original tack items to the new body art (like @RKOHaven has done with the Suffolk).

By "regular" I just meant Non-Fantasy. I am going to go back in and update verbiage. We will get there eventually :))

I've put a bunch of Fresian for sale here @LaurierArabians @DarkPhoenix and @TripleGFarm!

ETA: I created a seperate chat for entry drop offs to keep things organized!

LookingGood · Aug 3, 2023 8:13 AM

I put the two horses back in your chat. The second one I don't necessarily like. It's just easier to start with a new horse!

*Edit* I hope I put them in the correct spot :-SS

DarkPhoenix · Aug 3, 2023 12:04 PM

I've tacked up this girl! It's quite simple, but I like it. Trying to do anything other than bridles and saddles is a nightmare. :(( I might be making some changes later so I won't be putting her up in the chat just yet. :)

LadyhawkeStables · Aug 3, 2023 1:56 PM

Yay thank you so much @LookingGood and @DarkPhoenix - they both look fabulous!!

I definitely acknowledge this is something that requires a lot of patience and detail and is 100% worth that big pot of prize money! Thank you both and I can't wait to see what the rest of you come up with!! :D

WillowRidgeFarm · Aug 3, 2023 4:28 PM

Im going to try to finish my entries tomorrow!

DarkPhoenix · Aug 3, 2023 4:44 PM

Quick question @LadyhawkeStables, what do you mean by "Tack up your horse (limit one per person per category, but you can change your entry if you want!)"

LookingGood · Aug 3, 2023 11:10 PM

Fantasy Entry - Very Simple (the idea I had caused the horse to get lost :( )

Fresian 2468402

LadyhawkeStables · Aug 4, 2023 9:56 AM

@DarkPhoenix just meaning that id you submit an entry and then have a better idea I would be happy to send the horse back for you to change it! :)

@LookingGood - love it! Lost in space! =:)

LookingGood · Aug 5, 2023 3:40 PM

Oh my goodness, TripleG! Love them!

LadyhawkeStables · Aug 5, 2023 9:11 PM

@LookingGood @TripleGFarm I picked up TripleG's horses and I do love them, but I don't see a post here showing them?!? That's so weird!

LookingGood · Aug 5, 2023 9:41 PM

I searched for them, they weren't posted here

DarkPhoenix · Aug 6, 2023 8:28 AM

Here's my second entry! :D I tried using the knight's pack...I wish there were a way to turn the tack so it would be easier to tack up the new body designs, with the heads at different angles and the necks straighter.

TripleGFarm · Aug 6, 2023 1:34 PM

@LookingGood @LadyhawkeStables
I too was like... when did I post them? Haha.
But here they are for those looking for inspiration, or what not to do. :))

Love the knight tack @DarkPhoenix and those backgrounds are incredible @TripleGFarm! This is going to be a hard one to judge - thanks you guys!! :)

Here’s my entry hopefully not too late!

LadyhawkeStables · Aug 7, 2023 5:36 AM

You guys are amazing, I love both of these @Khisanth!

Also I've been taking screenshots of all of these in case the tack does go wonky so I can judge original submissions!

I will go ahead and leave this open until the 15th for new entries! I am adding some more Fresians to the pick up chat now!

@LaurierArabians don't forget to post yours here!

I like to make my tack match the horse's color.

Kintara · Aug 13, 2023 5:40 PM

These are awesome, heaps of inspiration, I never thought of using barn items that way!!!

LadyhawkeStables · Aug 15, 2023 4:31 AM

Thanks for your entries @FlipsVonH and @OTTB1!

Last day to get your entries in! I will be closing this for judging tonight! :D

SCstables · Aug 16, 2023 9:00 PM

@LadyhawkeStables I still have mine :-SS where can I drop them off? Sorry if it is too late.

LadyhawkeStables · Aug 17, 2023 3:58 AM

@SCStables feel free to list them publicly for 25k and I'll pick them up for your entry fee, but unfortunately won't be able to include them in final judging! Posting results shortly! :)

LadyhawkeStables · Aug 17, 2023 4:35 AM

Thank you all so so much for your time and creativity - this was extremely hard to judge!

*Ulrich Von Liechtenstein

*La Dame de La Lune

Non-Fantasy - 500k - @DarkPhoenix
I love the combination of barn builder and tack with this entry. It may look simple, but there's a lot going on in the backend and it was executed beautifully!

* Fresian NF DP 2468122

Honorable mention - 250k - @TripleGFarm
What incredible backgrounds on both your entries! I only wish you would've gone for just a few tack items on the on the horse as well!

* Fresian NF TGF 2468112

* Fresian F TGF 2465323

Honorable mention - 250k - @RKOHaven
Absolutely love the used of panels to build a wall, super creative!

@LadyhawkeStables thank you for hosting the show, it was very fun.

DarkPhoenix · Aug 17, 2023 2:36 PM

Oh my goodness, thank you so much @LadyhawkeStables! Wow, I did not think that either of my entries were going to win. :)) This was so much fun, and thank you so much for hosting this contest!

Khisanth · Aug 17, 2023 5:03 PM

Oh wow! Thank you so much! It was so much fun and now I have an addiction in creating tack designs haha. :))

SCstables · Aug 17, 2023 7:42 PM

Congrats everyone, these look awesome! @LadyhawkeStables I list them here shortly.
