When it comes to horse art, I’m not fussy – I like all types. Here is an interesting twist on artistic talents – horse embroidery. It’s definitely an underestimated art form and one that takes hours of concentration and work to achieve.

Horses of the Artistic Masters
Over the years I have been writing this website I have formed a much greater appreciation for art. Although I must confess a special love for equine art, I enjoy other subjects as well.
To combine two of my favorite things has been a lot of fun as I’ve searched the web for horses in art as painted by the masters. I started with some of the most recognized artists on the planet and as I added them I kept running across more.
Not all of them are recognized masters, but they were or are all masterful artists & their horses are worth a look.

Horse Stamps 4
Throwing away my posting schedule has forced me to do some summer cleaning, and in doing so I always find fun ideas I’d forgotten about.
I love the colorful horse stamps and was delighted to find this additional post of them, (you have to love finding half finished material). This is the fourth part in the collection, so if you haven’t seen parts one, two & three be sure to take a look.
The equine stamps I’ve found come from all over the globe, although it seems Germany & Russia lead the pack in sheer numbers.

It seems that painting life sized horse statues is a growing trend around the world. I’ve done a little research and I don’t know if they are all connected to the Trail of Painted Ponies or if they are independent. (Anyone know?).
