Horses have always served as a powerful totem for me. When young, I collected figurines, visited the barn up the street, and took riding lessons just to pretend I was an owner. And then there was that one time I tried out snorting my approval at the dinner table.  I still look for their forms everywhere.

Enjoy a few of these from around the globe.
