November of this year is when the 9th annual EQUUS Film and Arts Festival is scheduled to run. Recently I’d been contacted about this festival and perhaps entering my book/s for submission into the Literary Contest.
A recent look at the EQUUS Film & Arts Festival Facebook Page shows that their 2021 Arts & Photography contest is open from June 1. Do you take equine photographs? Then be sure to check it out! Want to get into this field? Again, take a look and be inspired by others’ work.
I love the idea of a festival that celebrates the story of the horse through books, film, photography, etc. Do you express horses through an artistic means? Then this festival may be of interest to you. If not, I’m sure it’ll still be of interest to view the talents of others as they focus on an incredible topic: horses.
I love to see what others are doing around the topic of horses. It’s interesting, beautiful and often inspiring. And of course, it often gives me content for blog posts!
An added bonus may be that it opens a new avenue of learning or exploring. This then leads to a new equine educational product idea or perhaps my next book! Why not get inspired this year by the 9th annual EQUUS Film and Arts Festival? Check out their site or like their Facebook page to be kept in the loop.
“There is a lot of folklore about equestrian statues, especially the ones with riders on them. There is said to be a code in the number and placement of the horse’s hooves: If one of the horse’s hooves is in the air, the rider was wounded in battle; two legs in the air means that the rider was killed in battle; three legs in the air indicates that the rider got lost on the way to the battle; and four legs in the air means that the sculptor was very, very clever. Five legs in the air means that there’s probably at least one other horse standing behind the horse you’re looking at; and the rider lying on the ground with his horse lying on top of him with all four legs in the air means that the rider was either a very incompetent horseman or owned a very bad-tempered horse.” ― Terry Pratchett
