Description
"Each day brings new life, new strength, new dreams and new hope. May you find courage, confidence and hope to reach out for your dreams." ~ Lailah Gifty Akita When I discovered this quote I could not resist pairing it with this watercolor portrait I did a few years ago of my very special mare. She was so kind and poised in her life and gave me the inspiration to have courage, confidence and hope. The day she died I was standing at her left shoulder with the same point of view as in this painting as she was looking out the stable door with the appearance of hope and expectation, just a short while before her death from colic at age 27. I have never known a more "angelic" being. I know if there is a heaven for horses; she is there and enjoying her "new dawn."

What a beauty she must have been. I have never owned a horse, but a good friend did, and I came to love her bay Arabian gelding and learn what distinct individual personalities they have.
Angela Davies replied:
Yes, they are all unique as you discovered. During my riding career I had two mares and three geldings, mares are my favorite. She was very special.

What a spectacular, show of beauty and courage, Angela…was she a dapple? Or was this artistic license? Either way, a poignant backstory and beautifully coloured portrait. Fav Thanks for sharing this innthe BUZzz

This type of coat is called fleabitten gray. Not a pretty name for a beautiful coat and marking.

Thanks so much Jeff! This was done from a photo of my Thoroughbred mare who is now 24 years young. She is still a beauty!
