"I disagree with the story-books, Lye." Maya told her mare. "Fens aren't scary and they're certainly not ugly."

Lightning snorted, though whether in agreement or disagreement, Maya couldn't tell.

Maya wasn't perturbed by her mount's indifferent reaction though. "Actually, I'd call it beautiful even; in it's own way that is."

Lightning didn't even respond this time, other than the steady beat of her hooves on the planks leading them through the marshes.

"And can you believe we're actually already riding our tenth race in this competition? It seems like yesterday when we started back in Canada."

Lightning did respond to that, neighing softly and bobbing her head.

"Of course the hardest races still have to come. But as long as we're together I'm sure we'll manage."

:star: Things I learned about Finland that I did not know before drawing this image :star:
In amount of land, Finland is the eigth largest country in Europe, which contrasts heavily to the fact that it's the least densely populated country with only 5.4 million residents!
The Fins have their own horse breed too; the Finnhorse. It's has a draft type, a trotter type, a riding horse type and a pony type. Its most common colour is chestnut and the average height of the breed is 15.1 hands.

I broke the ten-entry barrier!! :dance::w00t::woohoo: Only three more to go! *here's to hoping I'll manage to finish those on time!*

Back to the bg-reffed backgrounds, and I have to say that suits me MUCH better :D Though I didn't directly ref the image. I merely used colour-schemes etc.

Also I payed more attention to Lye and Maya in this image, since they've been getting slightly neglected in my efforts to make decent backgrounds. So here's to them :D

Oh, and look; Maya's exchanged her chaps for some riding boots! :love: And they're green too :giggle:
Though she loves her chaps, the swampy area called for more water-tight foot-wear :D
