Horse Riding Philippines: July 2015

One of Yana's Horse Sketches; "Just got to love them with love that never tires."

Yana's been sketching horses since she fell in love with them at 5-years old. Those who've known her from her first video have seen her doodles. It's interesting 'because they often tell stories.

School works get more demanding at Grade 8. And for a while, her drawing shifted from horses and princesses to Japanese anime characters.

It's a pleasant surprise to discover she still has horse tales doodles. Just like this newest one above.

Here are some of her other horse drawings:

Yana's Horse Sketch. I wonder who's the inspiration behind this?

Here's our first video where you can see Yana's early horse sketches. It's been a journey just like her doodles.

Have a great week everyone :-)

(And hopefully a sunny day on the 29th.)

It's July and Yana gets restless with the rains. Just a few more days and it'll be Yana's 14th birthday. For the past 4 years since she started riding at 10 years old, all she ever ask on her birthday is to spend the day riding.

Unfortunately, she's born on July and lives in the Philippines!

When I was a child, July is a rainy season. But in this generation, July is typhoon season! Needless to say, the past recent birthdays were under typhoon days. Meaning, it was either she didn't get to ride or went on riding in the rain (only when there's no thunder and lightning).

"Sana walang ulan or bagyo sa birthday ko Mommy." she said. (Mom, I hope there's no rain or typhoon on my birthday.)

What's with girls and horses anyway?

Yana would rather skip shopping for new clothes to save up for a horse. And I'm sure anyone else with horse fever is the same.

An article tries to explain this "horse addiction". It is a good read. The full article is here Why Women Love Horses.

Simply put. It's a special connection. A level of deep communication. Sort of romantic in a way :) (wink,wink)
