Lleno de gloria

Full of Glory

In this figurative abstract painting made with oil on a canvas, you see a first prize winning Bay horse with markings of black points on the legs and mane. The rider sits proud and firm high on his horse posing for pictures with the photographers in the background. This original painting looks as though the rider just got through a dressage event. Dressage is an event where the horse must be very obedient to their riders. There is usually a sequence that the horse and rider must complete. Letters are placed around an arena to show where movements should happen. In dressage the horse and rider can also perform a freestyle, which is also known as “Dancing on Horseback”. Dressage riders usually wear tight pants called breeches, as well as a blouse, a top coat and a top hat. The moves the horse performs are very graceful and fun to watch.
