Gray Dreams -large oil painting
This is of my favorite Arabian mare, Rasha. Her sire was Rashad ibn Naseer, an Egyptian and her dam Crabbetbred. Although registered purebred, I bought rasha for $400 as a nine-year-old. I never had a lot of money for horses and always got cheap ones. There's usually a reason they're cheap. Rasha had frightened previous owners with balking, jibbing, prancing and uncontrolable head shaking, a miserable ride, but she always came to see me in the paddock when the other horses kept eating. Very intelligent and courageous, she resented bad riders. Despite being a coward myself, I managed to gain her cooperation and she turned out to be a wonderful, bombproof riding horse. She seemed to prefer my company to that of other horses and I prefered her company to that of some people! When she volunteerily arched her neck and pranced, I felt like we were leading a parade.
The painting isn't for sale, but prints are.


These Arabian mares belonged to a lady in Salisbury who bred fine Arabians for years. She usually had a job on the side and always rented farms. Not many people make a living breeding horses. It's a labor of love. Funny, people think you're rich if you own horses. Sometimes horses are why some people aren't rich.

Green Apples - oil painting Another bargain Arabian mare, Adele, a retired race and show horse with her pet donkey, who was given to us. No one wanted this gorgeous mare because she's too spirited for most riders and her feet tend to soreness.
