This part of the site is to be dedicated to information about and pictures of my favourite horse breeds, in particular - but not exclusively - the Welsh Pony and Cob and the Spanish Horse, who continue to give so much inspiration to my work as an artist and as a horse lover. It is a work in progress and will be added to over time. |
