Horse Smiles
Image from Gintautas Sadauskas In my endless searches for ‘horse’ online, I run across some fantastic images – some of them amazing enough to create an entire post around them. Although I’m fully aware that horses don’t actually physically smile, it sure seems that way to those that love them.

Cholla’s Painted Pony

Not Just Canvas Cholla isn’t fickle and will paint almost anything & I’ve featured him & his art before. While his canvases […]

Horses in The Sand
Not long ago we took a chilly look at horses in the snow but this week I want to hold on to summer for just a little bit longer. Keeping Summer Alive I’m guessing most of them are part of sand sculpture contests and what fantastic entries they are. This kind of horse art inspires […]

Recently I also shared a collection of equestrian postcards that are interesting and if you haven’t seen the previous stamp posts be sure […]
