Christmas Cards Coming!

Soon, Michelle will be done with the first of our Christmas cards!

There won't be any cutesy Santa kids or reindeer horses, sorry.

What there WILL be is a print of a beautiful original oil painting by Michelle of a herd of wild horses from Coyote Lakes HMA coming in on a gather, thru the snow covered sage brush. The cards will be blank inside so you can put your own greeting on it. You will be able to order them direct, thru me, and pretty soon, they will be up on a Cafe Press site to order as well. From Cafe Press, you will also be able to order the print of your choice onto the medium of your choice -- t-shirt, coffee cups, mouse pads, hats or whatever you want! As I get the quality scans sent to me, I will upload them to the Cafe Press site and let you all know when they are available!

Here is the photo that was the inspiration for the first card:


The print won't look exactly like the above photo but several of the horses in that photo, as well as ones from other photos, will be in the painting. A gelding we adopted from this gather is shown above, in the middle of the herd with the star and the snip on his nose, next to the red dun. Pretty cool! There will also be a black mare with a black foal at her side in the painting that is representative of my friend Karen's gelding Ranger, who also came in on that gather as a baby.

More on how to order cards, or whatever you want, as soon as it's available!
