Saracen - Watercolour. This lovely chestnut thoroughbred was rescued from starvation by his owner and lovingly nursed back to health. She particularly wanted him cheekily bucking so she and Karen chased him round his paddock for Karen to take the photos.

Courteenhall - Watercolour. Now 22 years young this 17.1hh home bred bay gelding is typical of the old fashioned type hunter/eventer of his day. Seen here in all phases of the sport his trot-up is at Badminton and cross-country at Burghley. He retired to Team Chase with the youngsters in the family and is still hacked out today, a tribute to the care of his owners.

Foursome - Watercolour. These four horses were all rescued by their owner, the second from the right had died but Karen took the photos of the other three to fit in with the existing ones of her. Karen has completed several portraits for this client and the degree of care and thought given to these animals both in mind and body is an example to us all.

Threesome - Watercolour. This Italian client wanted as much on his painting as possible, so we have the three central head studies, all three horses in action, his two dogs and a group of riders belonging to one of only two drag hunts in Italy.

Pointers - Watercolour. These four beautiful show dogs show the classic English Pointer head, a perfect combination of intelligence and elegance.

Gemma and Jake - Watercolour. The portrait of these two Lurchers was a 21st birthday present, with sketches of them as pups and doing their favourite things!

Tristin - Watercolour. This Miniature Spotted Shetland is the star attraction at any driving event and a special favourite of H.M. the Queen. His cheeky and dynamic character is shown here in these four studies, full of life and naughtiness, a big personality in a small package!

Foal - Watercolour. This lovely miniature spotted pony was only the size of a labrador dog when
Karen went to photograph her, too sweet!
