"I love horseback riding. These big, gentle animals are my friends. They know my scent and they know my voice when I call their names. Riding on Ice, Poco and Tia makes me happy. I like to brush them and give them treats like peppermints. I have been riding since I was 12. I hope I can ride for a long, long time."
"I love all the horses."
"Riding has helped strengthen the trunk. She's like a jack-in-the-box, she now has the strength to sit up and stay up under her own power, which she could not do before. She really enjoys riding too."
"I like trotting and Tia the horse is my favorite."
"I like cantering because I'm getting really good at it and stronger. I like circling around corners, it is much fun, and I sometimes like to do it at the trot"
"I like riding Elsie because we get along so well together."
“Riding is number 1, not number 2.”
"My favorite thing to do is trot, because it's fast!"
"Riding has opened me up and I'm not as scared. It has helped my balance a lot, and I am more positive about myself."
"Horseback riding so much fun. Good day. I like to trot-trot-trot and go fast."
"I like trotting - bouncy trot and up down trot"
"I like trot-trot because it's fast and I like up-downs!"
"I like riding fast!"
"Riding has greatly improved my son's hand-eye coordination and balance. Because of this, he is now able to ride a bike and play video games, things that every little boy his age should be able to do."
"I like trotting and going fast, it's exhilarating. The people at Horsefeathers are loving and caring souls."
"I like to trot-trot because it's bouncy and it makes me happy!"

About the Artist:
Asked by a Christian ministry that places Russian orphans in the homes of loving families to paint a Pony that captures the dream-come-true that awaits these children in America, Bonny incorporated the warm red and deep gold colors associated with Russian matruska dolls, along with children's faces peering out with hopeful expressions, doves of peace, flowers and leaves, into a spectacular artwork that makes a powerful statement about the great freedom in life's journey.

About the Artist:
She has come to love the desert landscapes of Arizona, but this immigrant artist from Ukraine says, "I miss the glistening of the snow on sunny winter days, the diamond sparkling beauty of frozen forests; the incredible patterns of fantasy plants and animals that crystallize on winder windows." Inspired by those wonderland memories, and painting in the 18th-century style of country people who would beautify their homes with floral paintings on the walls that included birds of paradise and swirls of silver lace, Olena has created a gorgeous tribute to the medical beauty of winter around the world.

In Lakota Sioux mythology, the horse is a Thunder Being, who brings storms to Mother Earth. With storms come rain and change. With this in mind, Choctaw artist Dyanne Strongbow imagined a thunderstorm centered in the horse's hindquarters, breaking up as it moved toward his head into the sunny skies of a new day.
