Day of the Horse promotes ethical treatment of horses
In 2004 Congress decided that December 14 would be
National Day of the Horse. This special day dedicated to our regal animal
friends encourages people “to be mindful of the contribution of horses to the
economy, history, and character of the United States” as was stated in a resolution by Congress.
"Without horses, the economy, history, and character of the United States would be profoundly different. Whereas horses continue to permeate the society of the United States, as witnessed on movie screens, on open land, and in our own backyards," the resolution reads.

Pet portrait artist honors pets with beautiful and detailed paintings
Pets are like family
members. They have personality, quirks and emotions. Pets are often treated
just like family- they get gifts, go on vacations and end up in family photo
albums. There are so many different ways that pet owners invite their animals
into the family circle.
Some pet owners chose
to honor their pets with a custom pet portrait. This special piece of art is
both home décor and a way to show your love for that special family member. The
number of talented pet portrait artists is rising and these artists are
constantly raising the bar. When a client commissions a piece they are
generally looking for a final product that is detailed, polished and true to
their pet. California based pet portrait artist Suzanne Leonard delivers a
finished product that is all that and more.
