Here Be Dragons

"Here be dragons" is a phrase dating back to medieval times that denotes
territory on a map that is uncharted or dangerous.
On the front of my pony is a beautiful green dragon flying over his pile of treasure which includes some ruby red bead pieces and Swarovski crystals. I used metallic paints on the sculpted coins.
On the back are several dragonflies.
I've always been attracted to dragons. When I was a kid, I thought that they were real, just dinosaurs that survived extinction. :0)


"Never laugh at live dragons."
- J.R.R. Tolkien - The Hobbit

"It's hard to stop Muggles from noticing us if we're keeping dragons in the back garden - anyway, you can't tame dragons, it's dangerous."
- Ron Weasley

Arabian Magic

The wind of heaven is that which blows between a horse's ears.
-Arabian proverb





Anyone who has ever been around an Arabian horse knows that they are in the presence of something quite magical. One of the oldest and purest breeds of horse, the Arabian possesses intelligence, gracefulness and an inner fire that is breath taking to behold.

Caballo de Oro

This "golden horse" reminds me of the flashy Peruvian Paso or Paso Fino horses. Graceful cresty neck, gleaming coat and lot's of chrome. On the base I have painted another Palomino horse with his mane flowing in the wind. Simple, elegant and full of brio!

Wild Flower








Combining my two loves horses and flowers. This pony has 16 types of flowers native to North America: golden rod, knot weed, California poppy, Queen Anne's lace, Virginia blue bell, New England aster, Indian paintbrush, purple coneflower, sunflower, morning glory, bell flower, thistle, white clover, sneeze weed, Joe Pye weed and chicory.
Using native plants in your landscape can help save the environment. They require no watering, they feed the bees and butterflies and they require no fertilizers. Check out Plant Native to learn how you can garden with native flowers.
