Two happy ponies on a cold grey day!

Yesterday marked the end of the thoroughbred racing season at Hawthorne Race Course, which means my CANTER visits are likely done until next season. It's been so cool to be involved with CANTER Chicago, and to reflect on how many horses I've been able to meet and help list! This season, I provided photos for 8 of the horses that went through CANTER Chicago, and 6 of those horses have landed homes off the track. That being said, CANTER Chicago still has 6 listings looking for their new career!

From top to bottom, left to right:

Lucky Pal - found his new career! Be Lucky - looking for his next adventure! Larry's Lunchbox - found his new career! Red Hornet - found his new career! Z U Soon - looking for his next adventure! Featured Power - found her new career! Ironman Richie - found his new career! Immortal Cowgirl - found her new career!

Horse Mountain Bear and Chris Hayes at Keeneland last night!

“This is normal carry-on for the famously rambunctious Mountain Bear and they went on to finish third in the Turf Mile (Grade 1).”

Some recent horse art I've been working on. I'm meaning to compile my horse racing illustrations into a printed calendar for the lovely folks at Madrid's racetrack. The horses featured are:

Veleta, Cromatic & Kantio along Sanlúcar Beach

Azkar with his jockey Denisa Sikorová, celebrating her becoming the first female jockey to win a classic race in Spain.

Spanish horse Rodaballo (center) wins a Group 1 race by a snout against Jin Jin (left) and Liberty London (right) at the Baden-Baden racecourse.

Our magnificent mare Samedi Rien wins the Hispanidad for the third consecutive time, after a morning of torrential rain, by an impressive seven lengths. You can see Madrid's skyline in the background.

A few months ago, I posted a video of our neighbor’s beautiful new foal and his doting mama. Here’s what he looks like now, filling out and looking good … and back then, as the cutest little thing around.

I AM OBSESSED AND IT’S TERMINAL 😭😭

Photos genuinely don’t do justice to how pretty she is, she looks like she stepped off the front page of the NZH&P show mag 😭

Ran around for barely 30 seconds (Gem was of course doing The Most™️) and then settled down pretty much immediately - only a tiny bit of squealing to start off with, but they were all happy when I left them tonight!

Pixie was the very first to greet Molly and followed her round the paddock like a puppy but once the big girls met she had enough sense to stay away 😅

Will give Molly tomorrow off to decompress and settle in and potentially ride her on Saturday!
