If there was one subject that Tahoma painted to perfection, it was horses.  As all Navajo, he had a respect and love of horses and he knew intimately how to portray them at their best.  This blue stallion presents itself as bold, strong and in command.  He is standing on a hill with his head raised to the wind with every muscle in his body taut.
