A Bit About Me and my Horse(s)
I have loved horses all of my life. When I was 2, we couldnt afford a horse so I became one - traveled on all fours and robbed hairpeices from my mom for a tail. At age 11, I got my first horse - an amazing mare (blue roan
Appaloosa/QH cross named Lochi's Cin), we grew up together in Seattle area.

I moved to NYC half way through high school and was separated from horses for nearly 10 years. It was at Claremont (in NYC) that I found my next equine guide, an Appaloosa/TB cross named Spring Thaw. He became mine b/c he kept leaving riders in Central Park and coming back to barn through 4 city blocks and traffic by himself - which was a liability to them but a sign of super smarts to me...we have been together now for 12 years. Next came Dane, my 10yr old Lipizzan cross - who is my current competition horse in Dressage and Eventing (lower levels).

    Hi Christianna,
    Thank you for your sweet comments about my art. I do feel that I am channeling the horse's spirit and my exploration of this is a joy and an honor. You mentioned posting on of my horse collages - do you mean one of my soul essence portraits? Thank you for asking and for your offer of a link. I appreciate the link but I actually don't allow free posting of my art because I sell my art as logos and advertising use, but I do have some wonderful free animated banners you can access on the bottom of my links page http://www.spiritofhorse.com/store/store/custom_pages.asp?id=79 I'll look into adding my ecards website banner there too - do you know about my ecards site www.spiritofhorsecards.com?

    Neat that you grew up here : ) ! I come to upstate NY Rochester area frequently to visit my best friend there.

    Thanks
    Kim
