i don't know why but i've found that a lot of autistic people, myself and my wee brother included, seem to love the film spirit: stallion of the cimarron. why is that? is it because the film showcases non-verbal communication, were we all just hyperfixated on horses as kids, or is it because the soundtrack fucking slaps???

A smoll skeleton and ecorche in progress.
This has been sitting for actual years unfinished, ribless.
I drew the ribs after work, and now I can start adding muscles.

All I know that Dream Works doesn’t own the design that was made for Spirit Stallion Of The Cimarron since it came from a real life kiger mustang horse. So I’m unsure why Spirit Riding Free wasn’t able to use the design in their show

One of the Kiger Mustangs named Donner was the model for an animated film; Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron voiced by Matt Damon.
Donner/Spirit was also immortalized as a Breyer Horse.

Seeing how we're talking nostalgia, I thought you would enjoy seeing my childhood toy Spirit with the actual Spirit! In the late 90's, Dreamworks Animation bought a three-year old Kiger Mustang named Donner from Oregon and used him to as the main reference for Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron. After the movie was finished, Dreamworks donated Spirit/Donner to a wild horse sanctuary in Southern California. He is still alive at 29 years old and every May they hold a birthday party for him. It was an amazing event and so awesome to see Spirit so lively at that age!
THAT'S OUR BOY!!!! You're so lucky you got to see Donner irl, I love these photos ;o;

Kiger Mustang at Work - Parade
From the BLM Wild Horse and Burro Facebook page
"Look who was in the Rose Parade! This pair is BLM volunteer, Sue Watkins of Riverside, CA, and her mustang, Dime, who comes from BLM Oregon & Washington's Kiger herd. This year was Sue’s first time in the Rose Parade, and they rode as part of the Cowboy Channel’s Cowgirls Rule float entry.
Riding in the Rose Parade requires lots of preparation-think applications, veterinary health certifications, shoeing requirements—that take months to complete, as well as lining up for the parade starting the night before. When some of the original riders were unable to make the parade, Sue and several new riders were added three days before the parade to the Cowgirls Rule equestrians. They managed to get everything lined up, literally, in time for the parade.
Sue is an essential Bureau of Land Management - California wild horse and burro volunteer who helps with everything from adoption compliance to serving as an ambassador for the program. In addition to volunteering, Sue is also a competitor and carded judge for the Gypsy Vanner Horse Society, Equine Trail Sports, and Working Equitation. She and Dime compete in Equine Trail Sports and Working Equitation. Dime is a national champion Working Equitation horse!
Sue and Dime, congratulations on a great first Rose Parade and thank you for showing the world the value of the trained mustang!"

spirit: stallion of the cimarron moodboard :3
i wouldve done more pictures but i didnt have a lot of energy
also fun fact, Spirit is based on Kiger mustangs, a wild breed of horses that are descended from the horses brought over by the Spaniards in the 17th century
