Yay, today is the day for my new update! I will be writing a new entry every week with updates on my art as well as some animal stories.

To start off today, I would like to introduce you to one of the animals that inspire some of my artwork. Her name is Angel, she is a wild mustang I adopted around 6 yrs. ago. I adopted her from the BLM (Bureau of Land Management) as a completely wild horse. Through the many years I have tamed and trained her. The other day to my amazement I saw Angel with a visitor on her back. You see where I live many Common Ravens come and go. Well, today there was a Raven, sitting like the world was his on Angel’s back. Angel stood there like nothing was going on, while the Raven looked as comfortable as could be. Gradually the Raven moved up Angel’s back, to her neck, finally making his way to nearly the top of her head. Playfully the Raven did light pecks at her ear. To which Angel just tensed but didn’t react. After a time the Raven finally jumped down leaving Angel alone.

You see I find it fascinating to see interactions between such different animals. Most horses would not tolerate a Raven even sitting on their back, yet Angel stood there, relaxed. Unfortunately I was unable to get my camera fast enough to capture that image. We can still enjoy the story though 🙂

Angel and I have experienced many things together, so you will probably get to read more stories about her. If any of you have interesting animal stories I would love to hear them 🙂
