Trail of Painted Ponies

A full grown horse is a huge time commitment, especially if you’re interested in riding. It means finding a place to board your animal. It means finding and supplying feed, and it means cleaning out stalls. All of these activities also add up to a massive financial commitment. In short, owning a horse is not the best idea for the casual horse enthusiast. For these reasons, horse owners, more so than most animal lovers, can be fanatical about their pets.

All the horse owners I know choose to express this love of horses through home décor. And that décor can range from decorative, hand painted plates to elaborate horse figurines. Whatever the style or preference of the horse lover, these decorations help to alert others that they’ve entered an equine friendly zone. But these decorations also serve an essential function for the owner. They are constant reminders of the animals they love so well, and this makes the home feel that much more personal.
