Horse Mania 2010

This fall, in honor of the World Equestrian Games being hosted in Lexington, LexArts held HorseMania 2010. The auction was then held this past Friday at Keeneland with proceeds topping $375,000 to numerous charities. We did not attend the auction or purchase a horse (a bit over our Christmas shopping budgets!), but we did take advantage of these horses being on display around town back in October and spent a day checking them out then. Thought I'd post a few of our favorite horses/pics of the day since the auction this weekend reminded me that I neglected to do so back in October!

This Alice in Wonderland horse was one of my favorites.
Everything was hand drawn on it and I got some great detail shots of it
that I'm thinking of enlarging and framing to hang in the house somewhere.
It brought in $7,500 at auction!
