Description

Please welcome Cathal and Eavan for *silverglass19's contest. We had to create the parents to her characters Addie and Alonso. Boy oh boy did I ever hirt myself trying to figure out the genetics on this one. So Cathal, he is a buckskin dun.....yes I said buckskin DUN, meaning he has both the cream gene and dun dilute gene, MUAHAHAHA. And now to get you even more confused! Eavan is a maximum-sabino, that means she's a giant white patch *snicker*. But in order to get that second cream gene in for Alonso I just say she has a palamino base *wink* Now for personalities.

Cathal (pronouced ko-HAL) means strong in battle and boy I'd sure hope so, being the leader of a huge wild herd. He is fiercely protective of those around him and quick to reprimand those who dare go out of line. Though he can be quite sweet and a doting father.

Eavan means beautiful radience which means both of her actualy beauty but also her personality. She's lively and kind with a very giving nature but when pushed she can certainly hold her own.

A bit of history:
For a long time though Cathal hadn't taken any mare as his lead. There were a few mares that kept control of most the herd but he'd never chosen any to be his true mate. That was until he won Eavan from a rival stallion. It didn't seem to take much for the stallion to fall for her rare beauty but Eavan didn't return his affections immediatly. She was still hurt from the last stallion, she didn't have much trust left over for Cathal. Nearly a year went by before Eavan would even look at Cathal, but the stallion doggedly pursued the return of his affection. And soon Eavan saw passed the pain to see the wonderful stallion that sought her attention. And the rest is history!

Corny I know....:blushes: *runs away*

I love your shading and especially the way you placed the shadows and just the general feel of the two horses, so lovely
