I’ve always appreciated Chinese art and it’s lasting power is undeniable, each piece below manages to convey a great deal of the animal’s personality. It’s interesting to see the stout pony-like build of their horses, which is overly caricatured in some while others are an accurate representation of the animals found in China at the time.

A Very Different Kind of Racing
Racing as it should be, it’s time for the horses to kick up their heels and do the riding for once. This quick ad gives us a look into what that world would be like…a world where jockeys carry their horses across the finish line rather than riding them there. I love it!
