Her old picture was doing my head in. I mean... anatomy, dude. I think I was partly having a rest day and partly just didn't know any x)

So here she is, my little Linnas =D This is kind of a speedpaint, about an hour, so I can probably spare a bit more time for it if I notice any mistakes.. Please feel very free to critique, my anatomy is better than before but that's not saying much, and I can always improve :nod:

Herstory
Along with her dam Greenfinch the pair were stolen in an attack upon an esteemed Thoroughbred farm, enacted by an ex-head groom who had soured upon dismissal. With his expert knowledge of the site, he was able to commit the crime without detection. Three horses were never seen again but Linnas and her mother were found in a motor garage, abandoned and starving, a few weeks later. It is a mystery why they were left there, but Greenfinch did not recover. Linnas was traumatised by the event, and refused to let anyone feed her. She was found a surrogate mother, but remained disturbed and ate only rarely. She was a tiny thing and no one expected her to survive. But she did. When she was weaned, her fear knew no bounds. Time and again she ran headlong into walls, doors, fences as she tried to escape her mental anguish. Eventually Winifred was called in, and offered to keep her in Cynaeniog where she could run out her troubles in peace and freedom. As soon as we saw her finally relaxing in the peace and wide open spaces of the farm, we knew we had to keep her, and paid the asking price for the mare. The small, delicate mare became playful and calm, although only very rarely lets a human being anywhere near her. She remembers how she was treated by them in the past and wants no part of it.
