On The Run

Contact Artist for Availability

I seem to be doing a lot of running horses images lately - with an even more than average amount of red. Perhaps I am thinking about the stock market too much?

This was another image from the Kalispell, Montana horse event last summer. As you may remember, I am particularly fond of bay horses and this fellow was especially well turned out with a very confident rider. Regretfully, we didn't return the final day to discover the winners. In my opinion they were all champions just by virtue of competing.

I have a whole file of just competitors faces. Most are intensely focused and some are grimacing in extreme concentration. But a few are so totally enjoying themselves and grinning from ear to ear that I found myself pulling for them to win (and wishing I could be momentarily in their space). I am still dreaming of flying...

Ephesians 6:6
Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but like slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart.

SOLD to a Collector in Ohio

This is NOT a Quarter Horse! Maybe a Trakehner? Holsteiner? Hanoverian? I saw this handsome fellow at an equestrian event at Rebecca Farms in Kalispell, Montana this past summer, and the event was every bit as colorful as this horse! Mike accompanied me for 2 days in Horse Heaven - watching incredibly turned out and athletic animals (and their riders) compete in dressage and cross country events. There were a number of world class competitors, too and it was a thrill for me to witness. Most of the horses were thoroughbred and warm blood crosses - a huge variety of sizes, shapes and colors - even several Paints! All were tall and balanced and in condition that would rival any Olympian.

I have a list of things I would love to do before I die. One of them is take a champion horse over a jump. That will never happen; it's too late as I have discovered that my bones take too long to heal now (I have broken 4 over my lifetime). But I still can enjoy watching those younger and much fitter "fly" on a horse. And dream.....Or watch my friend Trista when she competes on Gizmo....
