Kate thank you so much!  It's a massive compliment to me honestly, it took me a long time of practice to get as far as I am now with creating horses and editing as well! I'll make sure to send you a DM to see how I can help you 
Clementine Laake thanks so much Clementine, as I said before I really appreciate your words. I try my best to make an accurate representation of the breed in my creations, words like yours really make me smile and want to continue with progressing.
lunasmit thanks! I put lots of love and practice into my pictures, all these nice words really mean a lot to me |

Arzanna CE
The newest and youngest competitor at Courland Estate is the 3 year old mare, Arzanna CE who is part of the show jumping team. Arzanna still shows young and inexperienced, with less confidence than the other horses. With propper care and training at Courland, Arzanna shows talent and room to improve which will make her a propper show jumper.

Great Vally Classic
For the first time, Courland Estate has shown it's horses for the public officially. Mathilda Kürz took both Baboulette CE and Yorshka CE to the Great Valley Classic hosted close by. According to Mathilda, both of her mounts performed nicely as to be expected from them. Both horses have shown their full potential and tried making their way to the top of the leaderboards.

Young talent
Rena Whitson is responsible for training the young and inexperianced mare, Arzanna CE. Rena and Arzanna have not yet appeard on show grounds yet for official competitions under Courland's colours, however at the facility Rena works the young mare as if they are. Arzanna has already met the show grounds as companion to the other show jumpers at Courland and this young talent will soon follow in their footsteps together with Rena.

Well prepared
As Courland is a small estate, riders still are able to take care of the horses themselves. Alexis Harris, head of the dressage team, takes care of both Dagoda CE and Chalendria CE. With one person caring for two horses, Alexis has plenty of time to care for her mounts properly. Here, taking Dagoda to the wash stalls for a well deserved grooming in preperation of training.

Day Thank you so much! I'm trying my best to keep this scrapbook alive (for as far as I can). I'm really happy you like my pictures, it's a big compliment to me I try my best to switch between some everyday things and action pictures to really try and show the life around the facilities!
Ian Salvatore Thank you Nina, I'm extremely happy with the facilites I made! Clean, simple but still elegant. A small place for approximately 10 horses and suitable facilities for training I'll make sure to give a full stable tour as soon as possible. |

Getting ready
Training days are full of routine at Courland. After a nice groom, the team gets the horses ready for their training. Alexis is preparing Dagoda for their dressage training of the day, even though this mare is usually all ready to work today was just not her day. Getting ready turned out to be a bit more difficult.

Ian Salvatore Great! I'm happy I get to show everything off soon!
Ann Rose Kalkenburg Thank you so much for the amazing compliment about the horses! I've already done many, many trainging pictures over on EC so I'm really excited to get to do something totally different here. I will go with training every now and then, but everyday things are more on my list now |

Out there somewhere
Besides working on their skill in the jumping course, Mathilda and Rena also work on their mounts' endurance. With the forest nearby the facilities, the staff can take out the horses for long rides and work with them in the open air.
