Footprints

The Footprints in the sand Series is a symbolic representation of the poem "Footprints in the Sand" by M. Stevenson. Each horse in the series is different, as each person is different. The chestnut/palomino shades are designed to be more sand color then actual equine shades... and since there are hundreds of versions and adaptations of beach tones (including black in Hawaii) each horse will be its own visual representation of a shore line...thus signifying the divine individual worth of each unique soul.

All Footprint horses come with a framed copy of Mary Stevenson's poem "Footprints in the sand" written in 1936....
Obtained from her handwritten 1939 FOOTPRINTS original . *

and to Mary Stevenson whose gift has comforted so many souls."
