Until I found that show a few months back I didn't even know there were cowboys in Canada, hihi.
To me the concept is rather alien as we don't have cowboys over here.
But you're never to old to learn :)
I also recently found out that when the European colonists got to the Americas there weren't any horses there. They went extinct after the ice age.
The Spanish re-introduced them.
I didn't believe that as I always thought that horses were already there and hence the Nat. Am. Indians were such awesome riders.
So I Googled it. Turns out it is correct. I still find it difficult to believe, haha.
I will have to change my entire image of 'the wild west' and its history.

As good as there now :)

Dust cloud is lighter. I'm happy with it, except for the part next to/underneath the horse so I'll try to fix that.

Bridle is a bit wider & lighter and has buckles.

Some twigs and sticks here and there in the foreground.

Added a tail and manes to better show the speed with which he's coming down.

All that's left are some details, like the horn on the saddle, shadow on his face from the brim of the hat, fix the horse's nose etc.
And I think I will make that dark bit of his beard, under his mouth, just a tiny little bit lighter.

Your progress is wonderful...

Thank you so much, Merry!
Happy to see you're still following :D
