This exhibition at Messums West, held in a former equine stable, brings together historic and contemporary artworks to celebrate the horse’s profound role in art. Featuring pieces from the medieval era to today, it explores how the horse has symbolized power, companionship, and beauty across cultures. With a focus on the human-horse relationship—marked by co-dependence and admiration—this show delves into our long history with these noble animals, capturing their grace, resilience, and enduring presence in human imagination.
