For the Love of Horses
"And God took a handful of southerly wind, blew His breath over it
and created the horse"

For the love of horses.... Part DeuxMe as a wee one (with droopy drawers!) and my beloved horse companion, Candy (oh how I loved her!)
In Saskatchewan’s capital city, the Queen Elizabeth II Golden Jubilee Equestrian Statue stands prominently in front of the Legislative Building. Unveiled by Queen Elizabeth II in 2005, the bronze statue depicts Queen Elizabeth II on Saskatchewan-born horse Burmese, the favourite horse she was presented with by the RCMP in 1969.

How beautiful. Thanks for the great post.
I am from Kentucky and actually am very scared of horses BUT if I ever move its a heritage I'll take with me- thanks for the decorating ideas.

I love love your blog. Beautiful post. I too love horses!
I was just over at the other west coast blogger's site, Poppy, perusing her posts and your name popped up! She refuses to acknowledge you in her list of good Canadian blog sites! Ouch! You are still a favourite for Canuckle coverage however. So no worries you still have me as a fan!! That type of brush off gets no devoted fan base with us!
You are adorable as a kid, and I love the picture you took in Regina! Poignant post you have here!
PS - never mind what other bloggers think of you. We think you are swell and a heck of a nice person! Snubbiness (if thats a word!) and snobbiness aint cool in real life or in the cyberworld!
Oh how cute and amazing and stunning all at the same time!
i love horses too, the pony pic with the boots is sooo adorable!

That foal in boots photo is WONDERFUL! I searched the site you cited but can't find it. Do you have the name? I'd love to order it!
I love that inspirational board.
Thanks Michele and Jill...
At first I had no idea what you were talking about! After some investigating I found out what all the kafuffle is about...
Everyone is entitled to freedom of choice, and *even if* she is only across the pond from me, Jan (aka Poppy) is a fine blogger and has no obligation to put me, or any other Canadian blogger, on her list of favourites.
Thank you, however, for the wonderful support and encouragement. That makes me feel terrific!
And I am glad the rest of you enjoyed this post... I simply adore all of God's creations, especially the magnificent horse.
Peace and Joy, T
This is one of the best design/art posts I have seen in a long, long time! Beautiful works!
