Blithe Spirit
We are born into this life
And from the moment of our first breath
Life can seem to have its own ideas
Instead of questioning or looking back
Some of us just run with it

THE STORY BEHIND THE ART
When I met Kacey, he was a three-year-old colt, and he was full of himself! His life seemed carefree, but it had not always been that way. When he was born, his mother rejected him and would not allow him to nurse. His owner Valerie stepped into the role and learned how to milk her mare and nurse him with a bottle. Every moment counted in those critical hours, and when she later emerged from the barn, she told me the last evening star was right above the barn, and she knew he was going to be ok.
Because of Kacey’s tenacity and Valerie’s dedication in the days, weeks, months, and years of caring for an orphaned colt, Kacey never skipped a beat. His life suited him just fine.
