From Passion to Creation

The Stone Horses Art of the Horse Contest is designed to enable artists of all abilities to express themselves and showcase their distinctive style. We hold the conviction that everyone should have the chance to create work that genuinely reflects their enthusiasm for horses.

We extend our gratitude to all the participants in this year's Division A contest! Every category was brimming with imaginative creations. We are deeply honored that you chose to share these works with us.
