So a few weeks ago I found out that Sylvia Zerbini was going to be at a local dressage barn here in Georgia. So I contacted the owner to see if I could bring a few artists out for a little pop-up art show. She said absolutely!
So four of us set-up our tents around the barn and prepared to have a little show. The weather was perfect and the horses were stunning. Sylvia uses mainly Arabians with some Andalusian crosses. I was in eye candy heaven as I watched the Grand Liberty performances. Finally I couldn’t stand it anymore and decided to bring my camera out. Sunday was the best day I photographed her horses performing without halters or lead lines. They came to her as if by magic. They cantered around the ring then all 9 stopped and spun around at the same time then continued cantering around the ring. It was magical to watch!
Then Sylvia herself came to my art tent and allowed me to have my picture taken with her. She was so gracious as to have me personalize the signature on the two prints she picked out…when really I should have been getting her autograph!
It was a fabulous weekend of art and horses:-)
