This painting was done at Bakas Equestrian Center in Tampa, Florida where they have therapeutic horseback riding stables.  Many of the horses are donated to the Center and they are trained to help disabled people.  We were in the area where the horses could roam free.  They were VERY friendly and often came up and wanted to be petted!  They were very curious and examined the pastel trays and easels that were set up in their area.  One thing we learned was the pond had alligators.  One of the artists was set up 20 feet away from me.  She was by the bank of the pond.  One of the ranch hands came by and told her she needed to relocate.  There were four baby alligators close to the bank where she was standing and she was directly on the mother's path.  She very quickly relocated 20 feet to my right!
