Learn about horsesIt’s been a while since I featured any classic equine art, and when I ran across some of James Pollard’s work I had to share it.
James Pollard was a British artist & engraver during the 19th century who clearly had a thing for the Royal Mail (and horse powered transportation in general). He is noted for his coach, fox hunting & equine scenes…but his coach paintings are among my favorites.

Last week I featured the amazing horse artist Cholla creating his very own Painted Pony. This week I thought I’d share a more general view of the Trail of Painted Ponies because it’s a really unique artistic endeavor.
The trail started in Santa Fe, NM as a public art project where artists transformed life sized fiberglass horse statues into works of art. Today they are collectable art pieces that celebrate both the equine animal and the art if storytelling.

As I move on to other tasks after finishing the breeds I find myself looking for more obscure breeds in the hopes I’ll find more. Not only was it fun to write them, but it’s fun to share some of my favorites as well.

Today it’s about breeds that start with K, from the handsome Kabarda that comes from ancient Turkoman stock to the athletic KWPN or Dutch Warmblood horse that has made a name for themselves in the show ring.

Although it’s difficult to top last weeks video of a sidesaddle highjump this week is almost as interesting. Cholla is a horse and an artist and he likes to paint…you guessed it, horses.
