If you’ve never seen the working horse art of George Soper, you owe it to yourself to check it out. He was there at the peak era of the working horse, rending the scenes for posterity. I’ve never seen better depictions, truly stunning, and lending insights as well as to how it was done in the day.
Here’s a sampler:

The coffee-table book, “George Soper’s Horses,” is in my mind a must-have.
Enjoy!
