Thank you, Lorraine.
My aspirations are mostly greater than my achievements - but I keep on, keepin on. Based on this definition of "Art" ; a personal opinion, and statement of artistic purpose.http://sunshinedixieland.com/ElucidationofArt.html
I will let the images of this pair speak for themselves.

"horse people" will recognize, and evaluate many things from the original photo. Health, condition, conformation, gate, approximate age, relationship - dominant, sub dominant (leader, follower), and more - but would not make a factual evaluation or recommendation until they saw them, and put them through their passes (worked them). Both theses horses, have earned thousands of $ in their lifetimes, and are still providing their owners/caretakers countless hours of pleasure and companionship. They are loved. All of which cannot be communicated by a single image. I have videos of them while they were in training, living and working with me, and producing foals (baby horses).

This may be more information than you want; but I appreciate your interest in this photograph, and my efforts. Thank you for taking time, to comment. I hope you will still appreciate the images, based on what you see, not on what I have written here, or elsewhere.
Sincerely,
Stephen
