Wild Fillies Make the Best Horses 111 | Chappie

As a woman and a horsewoman, I know the inherent strength of all the strong women in my life, as well as the immeasurable value of a good mare – she won’t put up with nonsense and will always, always “have your back”.

Each artwork is bordered with designs inspired by traditional weaving patterns, providing a solid framework for each filly.

The power of positivity represented by traditional symbolism reminds us that Life is a transformational journey for us all, and we hope to meet it with clear vision, wisdom, confidence, and success.
