This in incredible. I love the way you've painted the horse's hair. And the background just ties it all together. I envy your watercolor skills.

A very beautiful horse, and wonderful painting! I don't understand the purpose of the "training caveson"... it is very strange looking!

Artist Reply: They can look a bit combersome but come in very handy when dealing with a young animal in early stages of training. It allows the handeler to be attached to the front and top of the horses nose with a long line, it is harder for a horse to pull or resist when attached here verses the side or underneath. It is kinder for them and easier for trainer to maintain control while tring to teach them at the same time. It is harder for them to use their strength agisnt you. Thus learning self carraige and their own balance. I realized that including the caveson would limit its appeal. Thanks for the numberous comments and the support of my work.
