Yes…I didn’t see the actual race (I was with the horses in the above picture, actually), I’m not into that. But when I heard, my heart broke for her.

Thank you, vampibunni! My son takes lessons on the one on the left. His name is “Boo”, and he’s a sweetie.

Thank you Susan. Yeah, i guess the blur is growing on me.

Mechellerene in reply to bluerabbit’s comment, 4 months ago

Yes. My friend just emailed me and said they are really trying to clean up the industry, and they really need to stop racing them so young.

A free spirit brushing the wind, the sun riding on their backs, the scent of flowers and grass filling them with joy.

No creature is to endure the suffering and pain of racing.

Mechellerene, 3 months ago

Yes, I’m beginning to agree more and more. And… these two had just risen out from a lovely dip in the pond as well.

Oh cool! I had a Morgan growing up. A big black one named Deacon. He was evil… I swear he wanted me dead.

Blurry or not, I really like the movement that you have captured. This goes immediately into my collection of favorites. I am almost finished with a 2009 cowboy/western art calendar. In it, I have an illustration of several wild mustangs from Nevada state. If you kindly add me to your watchlist , you’ll know when it’s uploaded to RedBubble. I really enjoyed viewing your portfolio. Beautiful work.

Mechellerene in reply to Wildwings’s comment, 7 days ago

thank you, wildwings! i can’t wait to see your illustrations! did you get to spend a lot of time among the mustangs? very cool…

Wildwings, 6 days ago

Some time but never enough. They are the most beautiful animals you have ever seen. Thank you for taking the time to view my portfolio.
