Video Saturday - Equine Art

By Leslie on August 28, 2010 10:50 PM, Filed Under
We aren't all the artistic types, but at least we can appreciate art that has to do with horses. Right? 

According to the caption on the video, Holly Fisher and her assistant Kara Oberg built these three horses for the Richland Park Horse Trials. No one is asking me, but the word that comes to mind is "badass."  What I want to know is, where are the horses placed on site? Points to anyone who can send in a photo...before John! 



It took Stuart Anderson three months to complete this bronze statue using the centuries old "lost wax" method. The piece is built to scale based on the measurements of a live Thoroughbred.

Susan Burns is my favorite equine artist.  Her paintings are full of movement and grace.  She's an Eventer too!

It's Cholla, the painting horse.  What else is there to say?

Who is your favorite equine artist??

Holly Fisher's horses are in the videos John took of stadium at Richland.
They are inside the ring and looked spectacular.

I really hope you will do more articles on horse art... and feature artist and their work. Catherine Haddad often includes art and artists in her videos on her blog on COTH.
