A Horse Is A Horse, Of Course!


 
 via

In my neck of the woods, there are many horse farms where horse breeding is a serious undertaking.   Centuries old farms and estates are often devoted solely to the lofty enjoyment of the equestrian. Nearby, the Devon Horse Show, dating back to 1896, is the premiere horse show in the country drawing olympian caliber riders.

If you are old enough to recall the concept of the Sunday drive, I often take a weekday equivalent and enjoy the miles of fenced pastures and rolling green hills that are home to what surely must be some of the luckiest horses around!

I don't own a horse and ride infrequently, but if you were to look close at many of the paintings in my home, many of them are of horses!  I am drawn to the equine as I am to all animals, but I don't have  paintings of other animals- just the horse.  I am simply enthralled by the magnificence of the horse, of course!
