WHAT'S ON MY FRAME?

If you thought I'd choose this one, you were right.  Besides, it is "Year of the Horse" according to the Chinese Lunar calendar.
I've only recently begun hooking and wasn't sure if I wanted to hook a snowy ground or dark as in the antique.   Afterall, a sleigh slides on snow.  But a sleigh ride in the shadows has much more mystery and excitement, doesn't it?  So Shadow Sleighride it is.
You will notice I reduced the depth of the ground by about 1" from the original antique.  Not sure if I'll regret that or not but could always add a couple extra hooked rows later if I do.  Something else bothering me is the disjointed lines behind the horse's neck.  Am thinking it may have been intended as part of the rein system.  So not sure how I'll handle that yet, but did draw it in.
