NickerDoodles: Getting in the Halloween spirit
HN’s illustrious illustrator Melanie Eberhardt is back with a comic involving an unfortunate costume faux pas. Take it away, Melanie!
About Melanie:
I am an artist in Atlanta. When I’m not painting, I’m riding horses. I have 3 retired Arabians and a snotty pony at home. They keep me on my toes. Three years ago I bought a young OTTB straight off the track. My new fella, Bubba, and I are learning dressage. Sadly, I’m the weak link on Team Bubba, but I learn something every time we ride so it’s all good. I started NickerDoodles to document the horsey antics that abound within my world. I’m very fortunate to balance my life with things that I love – painting and riding – and NickerDoodles gives me a forum to share. If we’re not laughing at our horses and ourselves, we’re probably crying. I prefer to laugh! I hope everyone enjoys NickerDoodles.

Melanie: I feel your pain when it comes to “Bubba”. I have my own “Bubba” only his name is “Kramer”( after the Seinfeld character). I, too am the weak link on Team Kramer & like you, I learn something new about my riding skills, (or lack there of)etc. each time I ride. All in all, Kramer is making me a better rider, but he is defintely a character & keeps me on my toes.
