I explore the life of a workhorse. I begin with the 1st moment of life (1). This moment dictates what life will be for the horse. Herd conduct is next (2-3). It’s the first moments with others that shape the way they play. As horses age, they begin to see the world differently. Life becomes colored with action (4). As life continues, the hand that holds the reins plays a vital role in the horse’s life (5). A gentle hand makes a gentle horse. The hoof is very important to the horse. A good hoof yields a strong horse (6). A neglected hoof will decommission a horse (7). Burlap signifies wrapped wounds and prescriptions show the crucial meds injured hooves require. Everything relies on what’s on the inside of a hoof (8). The foundation mustn’t be damaged. Without good feet, the workhorse can’t work. After training is the push for honor (9). The plaque symbolizes the prestige that most strive for. When the race comes to pass, it is the heart that matters most. It’s not the speed of the race; it’s the heart that carries the horse from track to winner’s circle (10). I bring a contrast to the heart with gel pens. After a life of work, horses make dust for the last time (11). The view of the horses in the meadow signifies the kaleidoscopic views about horses coming together in the last step of a horse’s life: peace (12).
