This photo is a throw back from the late 1980’s of my pony at the time, Tina. She was a Welsh cross and Palomino. I always think of her a lot at this time of year because on 1 August it was Horses Birthday for horses in the Southern Hemisphere(to coincide with foaling season). It was time spent with her, and her paddock mates, that inspires the use of animals in my art. I spent many years trail riding in the bushland south of Adelaide, coming across all sorts of creatures. Tina never really liked to be ridden, she bucked me off many times. Her favourite thing was food, particularly fresh spring grass so I really hope she is in an afterlife full of all her favourite food and all of her friends :)
