My 12yo dd is a horse fanatic and maybe that is putting it mildly! She draws horses on everything: restaurant napkins, the church bulletin, her Bible cover, her binder at school, her schoolwork!

I just saw a fall brochure for the John Michael Kohler Arts Center yesterday and found out they were having a horse drawing class! I was thrilled and so was she when I told her yesterday. We went to the Arts Center today and signed her up. It starts on Monday and goes for 8 weeks. They also get to draw horses out at the Kohler Stables, so I don't know if she's more excited about doing horse art or actually getting to visit the Kohler Stables!

She drew that over a year ago! It's dated April 2003! LOL! I think she should get a job illustrating children's books! Look at Jan Brett! Jan Brett's Website

Here are two more horses, she has on the computer.

I think you've found the perfect gift for such a talented young lady.

By Bea on Thursday, September 23, 2004 - 04:21 pm:

Do you ever take her to ride from a public stable?

By Dawnk777 on Thursday, September 23, 2004 - 04:51 pm:

She gets occasional riding lessons. She often gets a gift certificate for birthdays and Christmas.

By Ginny~moderator on Thursday, September 23, 2004 - 05:00 pm:

I showed the pictures to a coworker who raises horses and knows their anatomy very well. She is very, very impressed.
