Art that is Wild and Free



Our riding,training,historical, cultural educational,and mustang preservation program has many facets. The Corolla preservation art program is one of the most important. The picture above is of Kay Kerr, a dedicated art instructor, and a group of talented young riders making a presentation to Karen McCalpin, Executive Director of the Corolla Wild Horse Fund.

There will be much more about the program in coming posts. In the mean time, ponder the significance of this point. How did man first capture wild horses? Look at the cave paintings of Europe. Prehistoric man first captured the spirit of wild horses in his paintings. Art was the first lasso. It was the first bridle. It was the first saddle. And my little riders are using art to help save the first horses of America.

The program is entirely the result of Kay's hard work and dedication. I really cannot claim any credit for it, but I can still be very proud of it.
