"One night after a difficult day I was driving home mulling over my feelings of frustration. I thought for a moment of how I wanted to feel, and the image of "Lionheart" appeared in detail in my mind's eye. Needless to say I pulled the car over and created a quick sketch so I could record the inspiration. I later met a Kiger Mustang stallion who was the perfect model for the horse. His gentle wildness is the perfect complement to the lion's strength and sense of purpose. " – Kim McElroy www.spiritofhorse.com
