When I used to go riding, the stable owner's favourite mare had a foal which was going to be given to her daughter. Both very special characters (the horses that is). They were thrilled with the foal when he was born and ashhe grew he didn't disappoint their expectations. I was commissioned to paint mother and child, and it now hangs in the sitting room over their fireplace. (Pastle painting)
