By the way another polish painter who loved horses was Wojciech Kossak and his brothers Jerzy Kossak and Juliusz Kossak as well – others famous painters that painted horses were Gierymski, Chełmoński, Gędłek, Wierusz-Kowalski, Szerner.

Brandt also had plenty of his protegees named “Monachijczycy”(Munichites-from german Munich where he was painting teacher).

I disagree – Brandt is not Polish Remington – Remington is American Brandt 😀 since Brandt is older.

In reply to jaelle.

This plant HIGHLY toxic to equines, neighbour’s horse lost its hooves as a result of eating Rosebay Willow Herb. With exceptional care by owner & vetinary care the horse
survived BUT you can imagine the pain & suffering. Without exceptional care the horse
would have been put to sleep.

This is an image of my Great-Grandmother, Sara Barnes. Her husband was JHS Barnes who owned Lyndhurst Station. Sara was the daughter of Edward Mytton of Oak Park and many other properties. Sarah’s mother was a Watson from Townsville. An indomitable woman, she rode with great spirit. She loved horses and bread many famous racehorses including, Maytown and Chez Dior. She had two children – CEB Barnes and Keiser Bell of Aroo, Boonah.
At one stage she and her husband controlled 2000 sq miles of country and 40,000 Hereford cattle. Sara and John Barnes moved to Canning Downs, Warwick in 1917.

Comment on Weekly Rescues Available for Adoption by L. Summers

Thank you for your work finding these beautiful animals a good home;
they are certainly worth the effort and all the hard work you put in.
I first learned about the airline trips through a TV news with Jan Arden.
She asked people to write their MP to try and put an end to this transportation
process that was very harmful to the horses even before they arrived
at their destination to be acquired for ‘meat’. I hope the end to this
practice is in sight and I will keep writing letters until it is.
Thank you and to all your volunteers.
