This painting was part of a grouping of horse paintings done for an exhibition. The series consisted of the role of horses and their fundamental importance to our progress as a nation. This last piece in the series shows the present and I believe future of the horse as more of a luxury item. His immaculate grooming as well as his tack tells that he is a horse whose sole purpose is the art of horsemanship. That being said, this painting also represents the pure beauty of the horse and its willingness to perform any role we lay before it.
