Help Suppport IERAL

Early in 2008 the Iowa Equine Rescue & Awareness League (IERAL) asked me to create a portrait as part of a fund raiser. IERAL is an established non-profit organization which provides care and rehabilitation for the animals they take in.

This image is of Colton, a lovely little 7 year old, gray Arabian gelding, who's likable demeanor immediately entranced me. His gentle, sweet nature and good manners reminded me much of my own horse.

Colton is blind, probably from a virus that went untreated. The good new is, it is reversible with surgery and the organization is working to raise funds to help with the procedure. So, that coupled with his beauty in both looks and spirit, made him the ideal poster child (urm . . . horse) for an IREAL fund raiser.

50% of the print proceeds go to IERAL

to help Colton and other horses in need. For more information on IERAL, please visit the IERAL website.
