Trail Ride

Pre-pandemic, this is a sketch of a group of riders getting their horses saddled for a  trail ride at FreedomRide Inc. (1905 Lee Rd. Orlando, Florida.) I didn’t ride, I was just here to sketch. I love the subtle chaos in the stables.

The act of getting the horses saddled up happens rather fast so I had to rush to get people and horses on the page before they were gone.

Where I to do the sketch today, I am sure any unmasked riders would be breathing plumes of toxic COVID breath.

I have gotten requests online to be more of an ostrich, and ignore the pandemic, so here I present the lighter side of life with leather and confinement straps.

It was a sunny day but when the riders left, I stayed in the dark barn sketching.
