My horses, dogs and cats. 

 

Horses have been a lifelong fascination for me.  I know that would not come as a surprise if you've gotten this far into my web site! I thought I would share with you some pictures of my horses and pets. I find it very rewarding to be able to paint your pets and horses, knowing how much they mean to you.  They bring so much joy to my life.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I own 2 mares, 1 gelding as far as full-sized horses go.  I also own an oversized mini mare (for the grandkids)  a senior chihuahua and a chiweenie!  I also have 2 formally feral barn kitties that are now my cuddle bugs!   My mares are a chestnut Arabian, Abbey, who I've owned since birth.  She is now 29 yrs. old and doing great!  She is kind and smart and quirky and I love her!  She is more or less retired- not due to lameness or arthritis, but mainly because I can't keep 3 horses ridden and exercised so she gets to be a pasture potato.  :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Two of my riding horses are TWH.  The mare is a stocky, sweet, grey sabino.  She's the first to meet you in the pasture.  My favorite activity is to ride trails.  Besides painting and spending time with my family, I enjoy trail riding most of all!  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My gelding is that big (16.1 hands) gorgeous creature with unusual coloring (pictured below).  He was called a strawberry roan when I bought him but he is not as 'red' as what I would imagine a strawberry roan to be and I have since decided he is a liver chestnut roan.   He also has sabino-type markings.  He kind of glimmers a silvery tone.  He is gorgeous and a fun, fun trail horse.  He is smooth and sensitive and likes to go!  I bought him in January 2015 and he has given me some wonderful trail rides which I think he enjoys as much as I do.  My grey mare is trail-ridden by my daughter and am so thankful for these two awesome trail horses!
