Horses, horses, why horses?

"​Horses embody majesty, freedom of self expression, passion and endurance, to me they have a great philosophy of life .
My horse sculptures deal with life’s challenges. And are abstract so that each person can see their own story in them,
 Life should not be dictated by convention but free to allow the spirit within to grow.
​- Ani Mollereau
