This enormous yet gentle draft horse lives and works at Four Mile House Farm in Denver. This is the oldest remaining homestead in Denver and served as a way station and tavern four miles south of the Colorado State Capitol building. One of the jobs of the draft horses is to pull covered wagons in which visitors may ride on weekends. Note the powerful muscles of the neck, shoulders, and hips. My concept was to show him emerging from a chilly autumn morning fog as the sun just begins to break through to warm the fall foliage.
