“ART OF THE HORSE Is The World’s First Online Equine Art Platform - Bridging Together The Gap Between The Art And Horse Worlds”
~ EST. 2014 ~
WHEN I FIRST STARTED Art Of The Horse, in 2014 there where several large goals behind it. From starting out blogging weekly on equine art, interviewing artists, hosting social media chats and Q&As to running the largest group for equine art on Facebook and writing monthly for Sidelines Magazine, I have learned so much in so many ways.
Starting out in January of 2020, Art Of The Horse’s largest goal has been excitingly achieved after being planned and dreamed of since the very first article being posted - starting a one of a kind equine art gallery!
Art Of The Horse Gallery is unlike any other equine art gallery in the world: Constantly innovating and keeping traditions aligned with a modern touch, we bring equine art to the forefront of the equestrian world by partnering with select horse shows and events while also hosting a thriving online gallery, giving equine shows an artistic dimension and edge while supporting and cultivating a list of the most high-caliber equine artists in the
world.
Equine art + international events =
AN ARTISTIC MASTERPIECE.
SHYA BETH FOUNDED Art Of The Horse in 2014. An equine artist and equestrian herself, horses have been a part of everyday life since before she could walk, riding in a basket saddle. Splitting her time between farm work, riding, art and blogging about equine art, she created her first live size sculpture in 2013 made from recycled paper, chicken wire and wood, and hundreds of hand cut and painted paper flowers, calling the life size sculpture, “Fleur!!”. After that, she started creating life size equine sculptures regularly, moving onto Styrofoam bodies and covering them artistically in recycled denim and jeans. This led her to becoming the featured artist at many different equine shows and events, notably the World Cup Finals in Omaha, NE, USA, The World Equestrian Games in Tryon, NC, USA and the Longines Global Champions Tour in Miami, FL. Now, she spends most of her time training and riding, working as an artist and numerous other business projects and charity projects. With the goals of becoming a professional show jumper and expanding her gallery and other businesses, the future is bright.
