Arabian Horse Drawing by Igor Lukyanov Plus Arabian Horse Art For Sale
The
drawing of a horse was the key drawing in the series of animal artworks commissioned by
Avid Design for the
Exmoor White Horse Inn. First of all, the very name of the place contains the “horse” word and it imposes a high responsibility on me as an artist. Secondly, the Exmoor White Horse Inn has a really big equestrian area with too many guests who know a lot of things about horses, and since my horse drawing was to be featured on a panel over the bar it needed to be “bang on” for even horse experts to love it at once. It was a challenging task and I had had to make three drawings before the image of an Arabian horse was approved.

At the Exmoor White Horse Inn there are a lot of horses used also for hunting. I was actually hired for this project because guys from Avid Design had found the blog post featuring
my hunting and fishing drawings. No wonder the hotel offering a package of activities comprising equestrian sport and hunting with horses keeps Arabian horses. Not only Arabs are the most beautiful representatives of the horse family, they are also good for trail or pleasure due to their great stamina and ability to run all day long which is just what it’s needed for places like hotels visited by a lot of guests wishing to experience the joy of riding a horse. Thus my drawing was to feature an Arabian horse and, of course, the horse needed to be white to correspond the name of the inn.

I would like to inform those my readers who have not yet viewed my previous posts on this project that this is the last blog post about my animal drawings series created for the Exmoor White Horse Inn located in Great Britain. This project includes five graphite pencil drawings featuring a
trout, a
pheasant, a
wild goose, a
deer and a horse.

A Bit About Arabian HorsesAround 1725, the first purebred Arabian horse was imported to America by Nathan Harrison of Virginia. This first Arabian stallion on American soil was said to have sired over 300 foals from grade mares. Eventually, the strength of the purebred Arabian was utilized in helping to colonize and build America throughout the 18th and 19th century. The Chicago World’s Fair showcased Arabian horses to over 27 million people. Their popularity continued to rise and there was a significant importation of Arabian horses to America in the early 1900’s. Their growing influence was especially seen as the Arabian Horse Club of America was formed in 1908 (known today as the Arabian Horse Association). From there, many stud farms were created, again, aimed strictly at maintaining the Arabian’s pure blood.
In the United States, Arabians appealed to the meritocracy, people who had made their fortunes elsewhere and then indulged a lifelong dream of breeding Arabian horses. Two luminaries were W.K. Kellogg, who built his fortune in cereal, and William Randolph Hearst, the legendary newspaper magnate. Presidents Martin Van Buren, in 1840, and Ulysses S. Grant, in 1877, received Arabian horses as gifts from Sultans.
Carl Reinhard Raswan (7 March 1893 – 14 October 1966), born Carl Reinhard Schmidt, was one of the greatest connoisseurs and patrons of the Arabian horse. He authored numerous books on Arabian horses and the Bedouin people who raised them. A scholar of Arabian bloodlines, he also published the Raswan Index, an extensive compilation of Arabian horse pedigree and strain information. He advocated tolerance and understanding of Bedouin ways of life and culture in Arabia.
The Arabian Horse Association (AHA) recognizes five colors for Arabians: bay, gray, chestnut, black and roan. Their average lifespan is 20 to 25 years, and when full-grown, they weigh about 800 to 1,000 pounds, and stand 14.1 to 15.1 hands high (57 to 61 inches).
The Arabian is, in the words of the Arabian Horse Association, “not only a beautiful breed, but one that excels at many activities.” |
