Blue Horse Design

Helping horses one donation at a time. Blue Horse Design started off on the kitchen table with a sketch pad, pencil, pen or whatever else was handy at the time. Many a utility bill has been mailed with pretty, or not so pretty, renditions of abstract horses bordering the amount due. Always practicing and always abstract - I like funky shapes, bright colors and images that are slightly unusual. If you are seeking realism, you won’t find it here but hopefully something fun will catch your eye. At around the same time that my doodling began I was trying to think of a way to somehow help horses that were in need - it was all pretty vague at the time and it has only been during the past year that it has begun to take shape. What changed everything was visiting the horse rescues, hearing the stories that rescue horses have to tell, and having looked into their faces. This opened my eyes to the plight of our horses and the need for help. I finally have a way to combine my equine doodles with helping horses. I am now able to contribute to horse rescue on a small but consistent basis and am proud to donate a portion of each purchase to horse rescue. It may seem like pennies, (and sometimes it is!) but it all adds up. In the meantime, I am learning about horses, rescues, laws, attitudes, relationships, and how even the smallest acts can be a big step in the direction of positive change. I’m still looking for my niche, and wanting to do more, but I have a feeling that it will come about in the near future - maybe not this year but I have a very good feeling about 2009. In the meantime, I am enjoying the markets, events and fundraisers that I have been participating in, and meeting the horses and people has been a great experience. So, with your help, I will continue to contribute to the horses - after all that’s what it’s all about. Honor the Spirit of the Horse and Join Us in Supporting Horse Rescue Laurie Dearinger
