Draft horses are what the world was built with. With these beautiful horses' size and strength, they are often heavily worked until they no longer can. I wanted to show the side of working horses that is not as warm and welcoming. I wanted to show the one horse that can no longer keep up and now is left behind waiting for their next job because it is what they know best. While not all drafts experience this there are those who do. I made this with charcoal so that I could keep the piece as light as I could making the piece seem like it is more like something that you would see with your mind's eye rather than experience in real life.
