found objects and Breyer Spanish mustang named Buckshot from 1988.
For a horse, the three essentials are: Friends, Forage, and freedom.Horses actually have only 2 legs,
not 4. Their skeleton shows that the front legs are actually hands, and they run on middle fingers (hoof). The backwards joint on their rear legs (hock) is the heel, with foot bones providing the running surface (fetlock, pastern, and hoof). This is the same arrangement present in cats, dogs, and many other mammals.
phrenology model, mainspring and grating, miniature golden horse, artists model, and breyer Arabian named Sshameless from 2013.
A stark contrast between the elegant
beauty of the horse and the utilitarian objects whose purpose is now a mystery. Hints of the hidden powers of
precious metals (copper, brass, and silver) and rare metals (tantalum,
tungsten, and thorium, used in the construction of radio tubes).
The vintage watch is set at "7:46" (one unit of horsepower = 746 watts, actually much less than a horse's true ability), amp and volt meters (amps x volts = watts), "majestic" radio tube, copper platter and wiring, and a breyer Andalusian warhorse.
