Eventing - Part I - Finished

Well... I have school tomorrow and really need some sleep, so only a short description.

This is the first part of a big picture I'm working on. It's quite old, I started with the lines 3 month ago and worked on it from time to time, but never proceed very much - until 2 days ago. I've already some parts of the XC and the Dressage, but sure there is a lot of work waiting for me.
Oh, by the way: I designed a logo for CPS ^^ (on the obstacle). I tried to a few times before but was never satisfied or lack of good ideas... I'll upload a bigger (complete) version of the finished one soon ([link]), I have to clean it up a bit before (and maybe I'll change one, two details, too).

The title says 'WIP' - and thats not just because its Part 1 of 3, but also because there are several things to fix. Neither the background, nor the horse/rider are finished, even if they seem to be.

/EDIT: This part is finished now! The main work is done and I think I won't do any bigger changes anymore.

There is no special composition, the parts will follow side by side - in the middle XC and on the right hand side dressage.

The picture shows Ailyn Bailesh, who owns the CPS with her brother and her two best friends (I think I have to do some refsheets soon... ^^) and the very first horse Stranger, an eventer. This is meant to show a training session of those two with no special reason, just for fun.
