This unique one of a kind painting represents the different horses who have left their hoofprints through time. The chains allude to the work these beautiful horses have done for humanity. Without them we would not have progressed to where we are today in modern times. The different size hoofprints start with a draft horse at the top as well as different breeds. A poignant accolade to our equines. The horseshoes used were found in paddocks and left over from horses I have owned.
