Quarter Horse Congress

October 12th, 2008 | By Jenifer S. Trottier

We have great weather here in Columbus, the sun is out in full force and I am having a wonderful time wandering the grounds. I stopped by Congress Hall and visited with the guys, Paul and Phil. They are great guys and it is so fun to watch Phil work the crowd answering any questions people may have while Paul is busy at the laptop. Make sure to visit Phil’s blog to see more on their trip experiences here at the Congress

Fun Photos from the All Horse Parade in Delaware, Ohio

September 11th, 2008 | By Karen Brenner

Imagine a parade that is all about HORSES! Pat Getha, an equine artist from Delaware, Ohio, invited me and Sue Steiner, a fellow artist, to her home town’s All-Horse Parade, bribing us with emails containing delightful photos she’d taken from last year’s event. Sue and I decided to grab our cameras and drive on down. And, we had the best time!

As described, this 23rd annual All-Horse Parade had over 500 horses in over 100 units! It was a wonderful parade, and the sunny weather made for a day that was perfect for photographing horses. Maybe I can bribe you to attend next year with these shots I took yesterday!

This year’s parade included . . .

A four across hitch . . .

Tails up in ribbons . . .

Minis pulling carts . . .

Canine companions . . .

Cute girls with pink cowboy hats. . .

A horse-drawn pep band . . .

Horseback riding fairies . . .

The hard working clean up crew . . .

More tails in ribbons . . .

Mules with personality . . .

Great hats . . .

Yes! Great hats . . .

A magnificent eight-horse hitch . . .

Unicorns . . .

My childhood hero - Zorro . . .

Black Clydesdales . . .

And much, much more! Be sure to mark your calendars for September 2009’s All Horse Parade!

All Horse Parade in Delaware Ohio

September 8th, 2008 | By Sue Steiner

What a treat it was yesterday to go to the All Horse Parade in Delaware, Ohio. I enjoyed the company of fellow Ohio equine artists Karen Brenner and Pat Getha. Thank you Pat for the invitation. Pat tempted me by e-mail with beautiful photos she had taken in previous years of this event. She said I would not be disappointed and I was not. It was quite impressive. Karen, Pat and I were taking photos as fast as we could as the stream of beautiful horse walked by. It would be hard to say what was my favorite sight with so much to choose from. There were the cute little mini weanlings, or the pudgy ponies or the elegant freisans or the majestic drafts hitched to the carriages. I laughed at the unicorns and smiled when the mules went by. The draft mule in particular was fun, all round and bulky with ears going this way and that and the ‘putt putt’ of flatulence with each step as he walked by. At least he was nice and relaxed! No stress there.
There were paints and palominos, appys and arabs. I saw big boned and fined boned, sleek and spotted, dressed up and ‘down home’ get ups. It was quite a sight.
I will have enough inspiration and reference material for my equine art to last a very long time!

Andalusian Charge!

May 31st, 2008 | By Karen Brenner

Andalusian horse painting

In my newest painting, “Andalusian Charge!” this stallion looks like he charging onward and upward. His brilliant white silhouette is surrounded by a tapestry of color. What was going to be a high key oil painting with very pale colors seemed to have a mind of its own….with more and more rich colors being incorporated into the design every time I worked on it. I do like the drama!

This painting will join 15 other Andalusian paintings as I load my car next week and head down to the Fiesta Midwest at Roberts Arena in Wilmington, Ohio. I checked the fiestamidwest.com website this morning and the schedule posted online is full of fun! (It takes a while for the schedule to load at the bottom of the page… wait for it!)

Luckily my husband has agreed to go along and work in my booth so I can be in and out — out taking photos of Andalusians when I’m not in my booth. I love talking to people in my booth, but it can get claustrophobic to spend hours on end in a 10×10 booth! Especially when there will be 90 Andalusians just a few yards away looking so beautiful!

I hope you’re able to “Charge” on down to the Fiesta Midwest! Stop and see me if you do! I promise to be in my booth at least some of the time!
