Horses

In 2012 The British Museum hosted an exhibition in honour of Her Majesty The Late Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. It was a journey from Arabia to Royal Ascot, sharing the history of the development of the English Thoroughbred horse. The Thoroughbred horse’s forefathers were Arabian horses. I was honoured to play a role in this exhibition. A short clip was taken at midnight of one of my horses, in the indoor arena at the Wormwood Scrubs Pony Centre. His name was Releef and he was a pure bred Arabian. The clip is short but shows the beauty of the Arabian horse. Releef was already a famous horse as in 2003 Lucian Freud chose him to be the first horse he painted at the Wormwood Scrubs Pony Centre. I invite you clip on the link below to watch the short clip where you will see the beauty of the Arabian horse.

Photos of special horses in my life.

I share a few photos of some of my other special horses that have journeyed with me under the same moon.

Orlando is another fine example of an Arabian. Arab horses are extremely special, they are extremely intelligent, sensitive and often intuitive. Orlando ticks all the quality boxes of an Arabian horse.
