These noble horses have small heads large eyes and nostrils thin ears moderately long arched necks short wide bodies very strong limbs and sturdy hooves. They exude a stoic presence that relates to horses of many breeds.

Each horse is individually fired using a variety of techniques ranging from organic smoke firing to low fire spray chrome glaze application creating crusty orange/red patinas that are occasionally patted with volcanic ash to give it a flavor of centuries old aging!
