Sad news ...

I received some sad news for dapplegrey art this week.

Pandora, the lovely lady who was the original subject of my picture 'Best in Show' (below), and the face of dapplegrey art, passed away peacefully on the 7th November at the ripe old age of 32.

Pands was a new forest pony; a gorgeous fiesty girl with personality and attitude to spare, and thanks to the patience and dedication of Helen, her wonderful devoted owner, she recovered from a bad start with undeserving abusive owners, and went on to live a long and happy life.

Now, she'll live on through dapplegrey art.

Phew, got to say I'm glad it was an old happy horse, not something worse.

Yes, it could have been a lot worse, but I'm sad for Helen (Pandora's owner). Eighteen years ago, she took on a horribly broken, abused pony and she devoted her life to rehabilitating her. Poor Helen's pretty broken herself at the moment. :(

yes I'm sure - eighteen years of love is a huge hole in someone's life - I'm just glad it wasn't a hole in yours!
