Donated to Early Californios Skills of the Rancho, I wanted to create a piece that evoked the skills of the working ranch horse at work. The title reflects the time it takes to develop a fine horse, the timelessness of this type of work, and the long history that California has had in quality stock handling and the development of fine bridled horses.
This piece will be at the Event taking place at Parkfield Rodeo Arena in the historic V6 Ranch, October 23-25, 2026.
