A strange question
-
Hey, everyone. Most of you don't know me that well. I'm not super active in the forums and I suck at talking to people because I never know what to say. But I was wondering if someone, anyone, could answer a question for me.
Do you have a horse that you look at that makes you think of a sunrise?
Things aren't going very well for me. I feel like I'm trapped by a world that won't let me go beyond basic survival, and I might have just ruined my only friendship because I vented when I should have kept my mouth shut. It feels like everything is against me ever being anything more than a failure, and...I'm getting so tired of fighting. I can't sleep tonight, because I'm sick to my stomach and I'm praying that if I do sleep, I won't wake up. And I thought...last time things got this bad, a horse I made on this game made me feel a bit better. He looked like a horse I knew when I was in the army, and every day I'd get on and look at him and think about how I never gave up in the army so I can't give up now. So now...I don't know. I guess I'm hoping for a metaphorical sunrise. Because I'm so tired of this existence, I'm not sure if it will ever come. So I thought, if I could see what others saw as a sunrise, maybe I could try to make one...maybe. It worked once, right? Not like I have anything to lose...not much, anyway. I know this isn't the place to vent this sort of thing but...I don't have anywhere else.
...that's all, I guess. Thanks for taking the time to read. Hope you have a good life. -
This might seem like an odd one for sunrise (could easily be seen as sunset too but I think thats perspective for you) but the way the S+ lights up her belly always made me think of the sun rising over the mountains slowly dissipating the dark of night that is the rest of her body. She's in auction but if you would like her I'd be glad to pull her for you.

*hugs* I'm sorry right now the darkness seems overwhelming for you but the light of sunrise is thereDabbler in EVERYTHING. -
I bred this little guy today. His warm golden colors feel like sunshine to me. I hope you feel it, too.

*hugs* There are people who care about you and would miss you if you were gone.
Finding a reason to keep going in dark moments can be hard, I know. I've been there rather more often than I'd like to admit. For me, my dogs help. Without me, I know they would be safe, but not necessarily happy. My brother promised me he'd keep them (my health is bad enough it's a regular question) but they'd be alone together most of the time, not with people. They love me and I spoil them shamelessly, and I couldn't leave them on purpose to live alone in my house, fed and walked but not family.
I find music helps me when I'm down, too. That and watching movies like Zombieland or Jurassic Park and cheering for the dinosaurs and zombies. Music has kept me going so many times, though. There are songs I can't sing along with and not smile, and I have a playlist of them just to carry me through rough spots. Songs like 'No Rain' and both 'Don't Worry' songs ('Be Happy' and 'Every Little Thing') and then there's the embarrassing stuff. I find it hard not to laugh at myself singing along to poppy boyband songs like 'Backstreet's Back', 'Summer Girls', and 'Bye Bye Bye'. Then usually I move on to Pink's Funhouse Live and end up chair dancing. :\">
A sunrise pony, hmm? Well, I have a little of everything so I looked, and I found this one. She captures that nautical dawn look to me with her starry blue over the pale pink/purple of sunrise. She's yours if you want her.

Please talk. If you need someone to talk to, @ShelteredShadows, my inbox is always open and you can't shock me. Can't promise I won't cry with you, but I can promise I'll 'listen' and try to help if I can. Life has a way of kicking us while we're down sometimes, I know, but never let the expletive deleted so-and-so get you down!~*~ Justa ~*~

I know how you feel, i am such an introvert and don't social well with others :)) when i feel down/depressed, i tend to listen to music all day from Katy perry,Bebe rexha,Ava max, Aviva, K pop, and other genres every now and then or i watch anime :) my favorite anime movies are Mary and the witch's flower,spirited away,Big Fish & begonia, My neighbor totoro, and a lot of others that aren't gonna fit this list :))
This guy that i got a week or two ago looks like a sunrise to me so.....that's how he got his name :D :x just before the sun starts to show, it's purple/blue/lightly pink outside :x i always go out during that time before feeding my RL horse.

This fellow makes me think of the first light of dawn.
2961351
He's not bright, or colorful, but by sheer will he made it through the dark to the promise of a new day. I know the dark place is hungry, it's called my name so loud this past year. I pray you find your sunrise.
If in anyway I can help, my inbox is open. I can't do much but sit with you in the dark, but I'll be there to listen.45120 -
This horse doesn't necessarily look like a sunrise, but he DOES remind me of something else.
Light in the dark. It symbolizes the fact that even though you may be low and feel like there is no escape, even though there is darkness, so much beauty and light that surrounds you (I know it sounds cliche, but thats the truth).
All im gonna say is i was in the same boat last night. My inbox will always be open if you need a safe place to vent
(PS: You're more than welcome to any show foals/straws from the boy that I posted.)

First of all, sending internet hugs and the hope that you feel better soon!
This guy might seem like kind of an odd choice for "sunrise", but the shading on his flank just above the splash marking reminds me of the very first glow along the horizon in the morning, and his rabicano spots make the rest of his coat into a starry sky.

Cold Snap isn't really sunrise-y at all, but he's crystalline and sparkly and pretty and looking at him makes me happy - I hope he does the same for you!

Breeding (mostly) warmbloods that are FF Ssty/+Ssty/+ pp with additional fun colors and patterns.
Licensed for axiom red, and wrong warp; chinchilla; ice 3; onyx; phantom autumn, bats, and spiders.

This girl looks to me like the stars fading as the sky turns golden just before the sun breaks over the horizon.
LS Axiom Custard G2R
She's palomino dun with het Axiom, but you could get the same effect with het Nexus, which is an open gene.
Sending you sympathy and hugs, if you'd like them. I hope things change for the better very soon. -
Hmmmm, a sunrise you say? huehuehuehue, my specialty!
This is my watercolor foundation stud, Third Times The Charm:
W1 Third Times The Charm
Some of his offspring:
W2 Charming Results
FSF Soft Peach Fuzz
W2F Mirror of the Times
W2 Three Peoples Republic
FSF Spring Sunrise
And some other sunrise ponies I have:
FSF Boots
FSF Wait for the Moment
W2 Protect the Valley
FSF Push the Limits
I'll stop here - I have more and could do this for ages. ;D
And finally, a horse that does not resemble a sunrise - but one that I think might be relevant:
FSF You Deserve Love
-
Many many hugs to you, please reach out if you ever need someone to talk to. You are not alone in your feelings, no matter how alone you feel at the time.
This guy makes me think of the first rays of sun hitting an icy window in winter, with the light reflecting off the ice and giving a shimmery glow.

He’s in my chat for you, if he helps and you would like him -
Before I say anything else, I just want to say...you guys are all amazing. I felt like crap all night, but I woke up to the most amazing sunrises this morning; I actually broke down and cried because I wasn't sure if anyone would respond, but you all did. And it seems like every time I start to feel bad again I'd get a new comment on here and have more pretty ponies to look at. After that, there was no way I couldn't respond. But I feel I need to state, though I'm not sure how to say it without it coming across as rude through text, I'm not asking for horses. I didn't want anyone to feel obligated to offer me a horse, though I am extremely grateful for all the gorgeous ponies that have been offered. Equally, I know that the players of this game are known for their generosity and I know I feel bad when I offer a gift and someone says no, so compromise? If it feels important for you to offer a horse, PM me with the horse and the chat room you want to post them in, and I'll gladly take them. Sorry if that sounds rude, I'm just...having a hard time believing that I would be offered anything because someone cares and not because of obligation. Doesn't usually work that way for me.
@CeffylDwr, she is absolutely gorgeous. I've never really cared for Sooty+, but seeing her first thing gave me chills. I actually live in the mountains and have seen that sort of glow many mornings. As cliche as it is...she felt like home. But please, don't feel the need to pull her. I'll bid on her tomorrow when the auction starts.
@FlyingPheasantFarm, he's so cute! The sunflowers were the perfect background choice for him. I'll have to see if I have any silver bays to breed to an onyx stud to try and get one like him.
@IndianaRanch, when I first saw her I thought of the tulip fields in the Netherlands, so I definitely agree about the flower feeling. My watercolors don't ever seem to come out that vibrant; any suggestions?
@JustaSaddletramp, ...is it sad that my first reaction to your first comment is, 'No there isn't'? My cat died a few months ago, I have nothing to do with most of my family, and I royally fucked up my only friendship. But...thank you for the words. I actually had to smile when you listed some of the songs you like to listen to. I'm not sure I could ever be upset if I was singing to the Backstreet Boys. I'll have to try that someday. And your pony is absolutely stunning. I can definitely see what you meant about a dawn over open waters. As I said above, I wasn't asking for horses, but I'll leave it up to you if you want to sell her.
@Riverstone18, I don't know much K-pop; never got into it. Could you recommend any good bands? And your little man is so cute. I love his pink socks.
@GallifreyanAngel, can I just start with how much I love your name? My friend got me into Doctor Who and it's always fun to find other fans in places I wouldn't expect. And those foals are just the cutest. I'm noticing a definite theme of watercolor horses on this thread; guess I need to start working on my own line. Like I said above, if you do want to sell them I will gladly take them, but I don't feel like I should be asking for anything other than ideas. Thank you for the offer either way.
@Seaswell, I have to admit, I was not expecting a black horse on this thread, but you're absolutely right. He came through his night. I just about started crying again at your description; that's exactly what I'm struggling to do. So...I just gotta pretend I'm a draft, right? Just keep going and eventually I'll get through.
@MariaChapinFarm3, I had actually seen this young colt on a different thread and thought he looked quite handsome. His name sums him up very well. Have to admit, I never thought about the northern lights surrounding anything, but...they really do, don't they? That sounds so amazing. Just being wrapped in light...wonder how that would feel. Anyway, thank you for the offer and for the PM. They both mean a lot to me.
@BorderCollie, I have to admit, the first horse surprised me, but you're right; his flank looks like a mountain dawn. That was always my favorite time up there. When the air is still cold and the stars are still shining but the horizon is glowing and you know the darkness won't last much longer. Like...you're holding your breath for the glory you know is coming. And it's all the more glorious because you had to wait. And Cold Snap made me laugh. He reminds me of Christmas morning, when the windows are frosted and the dawn light is just starting to creep in, edging everything in gold. He's wonderful; thank you for sharing his image with me.
@GeneverGinger, she's beautiful. I have several het axioms and nexus and never really looked twice at them, but yours has a soft, gentle quality to her that I don't see much, and it was lovely to finally find. Thank you for sharing her with me.
@Spectrum, wow, you really have a corner on the market of sunrise horses, don't you? I seriously need to up my watercolor game to ever have a dream of horses like these. Thank you for sharing them with me; they were all so lovely that I could have gladly looked at them for hours. Especially the last one. He feels like love and his name made me cry.
@FallenShadows714, he is gorgeous and I can see what you mean. He has a warm and fuzzy feeling about him. As I said above, I was not requesting horses, but if you really want me to have him, I will gladly take him.
To everyone, thank you for all the internet hugs, and know that I return them in full. And for the offers to listen if I ever need to talk, I thank you. I won't forget any of this. You are all amazing, and it means the world to me...words fail to express how I feel right now. Full, I guess. Full of gratefulness. Thank you all.
Thank you. -
She's my foundation so It might also be the mushroom gene and her sooty. But If I ever breed another one like her, I'll sell it. You can breed to her next season.
Edit: You don't have mushroon.

@ShelteredShadows Of course there are people who care. If there weren't, nobody would have replied to you. <3 We're all people who care enough to try to help, even if only by offering a tiny bright spot for your morning. I was sincere in my offer of a horse and I think many others were too, not out of obligation but because we want to help brighten your day and your herd. :x <br />
I know what it's like to feel like you're alone, possibly better than anyone. I have millions of allergies it seems like some days, not to things like ragweed but to perfume and lysol and bleach and fragrances that are used in detergents, and leaving my home often leads to a week of regretting it. I've been fighting a lingering case of pneumonia all summer because of it, and at this point I'm living my life on a leash (oxygen) and I see two people: my brother, who checks on me often in person or on my phone, and a visiting nurse once a week who sees me first thing and then puts on her perfume and makeup (Yes, even that was setting off an allergy attack. Lol) after she sees me. Otherwise it's just me and the dogs and my friends here. The dogs don't talk much, so this game is my social life. :\">
The filly is yours if you want her, but no obligation to take her was intended. She's just standing around in my barns looking pretty and bringing in a few show points. I have far too many horses to use them all! Up to you, though. :)~*~ Justa ~*~
