Rearing Horses

 A month or so ago we took Tigger and Calypso to the beach and had lots of fun swimming with the horses. Then Tigger and I showed off and did some rearing. I have just started teaching him and realize now how dangerous it is to teach a horse to rear. They must be well trained in the basics and you must be able to really trust your horse before you teach rearing. When he is confused with something I ask him now he sometimes wants to rear thinking that's what I want. But he's just about got it now, next step is getting him to rear up higher!

Good boy! I love my Tigger!

Tigger photos

   Pete bought himself a new camera and so he took it when we went up to ride the horses. Here are some of the results.

He was having a lazy day!

Pete had a ride on Tigger, and said he wanted a horse of his own to have fun with, instead of train other peoples horses all day.

Here are my two latest horses. Commissioned work for my cousin of his horse, Breeze.

Leonid Afremov's amazing artwork

  I just now found this amazing artist, Leonid Afremov's work. The painting above I love best. I love how the road is so wet and shining and the mistiness in the background. And the trees are amazing! Big dashes of colour amongst the realistic rendering of the branches. And there is a feeling of depth and transparency.

 More of his work here and on his Deviant art account.
