My daughter received this from her Aunt, Uncle and Cousins. Our daughter is very into horses and this piece takes her love for ART and HORSES and blends them into one. A bonus is the spiritual nature of this particular horse. I feel a special protection from this horse and hope that it will watch over our daughter with it's bright colors, texture and spiritual light
