Smokey the Cow Horse. A horse novel. None of the illustrators for this book ever depicted Smokey as he was described. The horse is from an original drawing of a quarter horse by Don Bolognese I traced. Would have preferred to have sketched it but my pencil is broken and I have to hold the lead in my hand. Smokey was not a quarter horse but I thought Don's drawing resembled Smokey enough. Smokey had a hard life and the book made me cry ( don't tell anybody I said that ). #art #horseart #equineart #horses #equinepaintings #horsepainting #illustration #horsebook #quarterhorse #mustangs #cowhorse #cuttinghorse #western #watercolor #watercolorartist #astelairgallery #infamousstitch https://www.instagram.com/p/CG5Ni0JpNGR/?igshid=1xn911dcrzcbc

And here we have some slightly uncooperative baby photos!  Working on getting her registration information filled out.  So glad she is finally done shedding her baby fur!

Hopefully this bad weather is bringing summer behind it. . . #reininghorse #reinedcowhorse #cuttinghorse #teampenning #teamsorting #ranchrodeo #teamroping #calfroping #barrelracing #polebending #goattying #rodeostyle #rodeofashion #outdoorslife https://www.instagram.com/p/CLEfqZ0JOgZ/?igshid=h2b4pp3v3gkp

Barn rats and brats! My ride, George, was the brat of the day. Gotta love that spirit and character. #cuttinghorse #quarterhorse #horsesofinstagram #norcal #autumn2019 #adifferentkindofride #nofilter #outsideisfree (at 505 North) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5EhQkPFilR/?igshid=7622nb2qx7w1

George was a good boy today and got a partial shower as his reward. #cuttinghorse #quarterhorse #horse #horsesofinstagram #rehab #norcal #autumn2019 #outsideisfree (at Winters, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4V1DpTFFSr/?igshid=18oswz1gwqeso
