Description
Somewhere in the wilderness of the American wild west. A pinto coated horse prances through long golden grass among trees sporting fall foliage. The warrior mustang wears Native American war paint and walks with a purposeful posture while a breeze blows through its dark mane tail. Perhaps majestic animal is on patrol.
Autumn is my favorite season for art. I've always liked the warm color scheme. Being late August when I created this addition to my War Horse collection, I was definitely looking forward to the fall.
The meanings behind the markings:
Lines on its face represent victories in battle.
For keen senses, it has the sun painted around its eye and circles around its nostrils.
Because it has pushed a person over, the horse has hand prints on its chest.
The blue circles are hail to rain down upon enemies.
The arrow on its neck is a sign of victory.
The handprint on it hindquarters means it has accomplished a mission.
A symbol for a snake is on its hind leg, and above that, blue horses for captured mounts.
A cross on its flank is for escaping an ambush.
Thanks for looking!
