Washan Leads His Friends

Washan Leads His Friends

Pencil sketch. i used to take care of Washan (Lakota for Spirit Horse). His owners just left him (he was like 25 years old when i met him) in his stall every day so i volunteered to take him out for exercise almost every day. Just walked him around so he could feel the sun & eat the grass. He was a very gentle & loving Horse. i think i knew him for 3 years til he passed away. The other Horses in the picture were his stall mates. people should not have a Horse unless they are willing to let them live as a Horse should, be out in the open, but have access to shelter, but never should they be cooped up in a dark stall. Now i feed a Horse on a daily basis, just take him carrots & usually bagels, or other treats i can find for him. Many other people feed him treats too, we are the only companions he has. Horses need other Horses for companions, they are herd Animals. i am still trying to find a rescue group to take Renfield (what i named him, his real name is Feston, he is an ex race Horse stud), & place him where he will have other Horses. He must be close to 30 years old & has been alone close to 15 years, probably much longer. people are so thoughtless when it comes to Animals. Animals need to be around their own kind, they feel incomplete & lonely if not.
