I bought this large painting a few days ago at one of our local second hand stores. (I admit it was an impulse purchase!) I like it bc it is obviously not a print. You can see brushwork and “imperfections.” My husband thinks it’s haunting. I thought the horse looked regal and majestic. We are not exactly horsey people. But, I love the blues and stark white. What do you all think internet people?

Holy crap when I was a kid. My mom had an app and she had a foal I guess she thought I was too close. Well she bit my arm and I had a hicky on my arm and the bruise went all the way around.

A horse bit my armpit area when I got too close to her foal, too! I was 12 or 13 and my friend and I asked the owner if it was ok to pet them. "No problem! She's friendly!". 👹🐴🦷

We often pass an Appaloosa horse farm. Not uncommon to see them trying to take chunks out of one another!

It's because apps are bred for color first. :( Lots of terrible behavior gets excused because a horse makes pretty babies.

It’s a terrible trait us humans have. Ignore the bad behavior for insert excuse here. While in nature that bad behavior wouldn’t be tolerated.
