I went on a weekend getaway with some of the ladies from my old barn and we all brought our horses along. Our horses were in a paddock behind our cabin, and off in the distance were about 100 of the camps horses. When Hummer first noticed them his ears pricked forward, the wind blowing his mane. He paused for a few minutes, frozen, staring off at the distant horses. I snapped a couple pictures, and thought he looked so beautiful. It inspired me to paint him.
