Boone

The stone’s subtle translucence gives it an almost ethereal quality, as if it holds light within. Gentle curves define the strong neck, arched back, and steady legs, capturing the animal’s elegance and quiet power. Set into its face are vivid turquoise eyes—bright and alive—bringing a striking burst of color. The contrast between the cool turquoise and the hue of the sulfite creates a harmonious balance, giving the piece a serene yet spirited presence.

Horse (Du:shi): Horse brought power to the People. After the horse arrived on the Plains, people were able to move faster with heavier burdens, they could hunt game more efficiently, and they became fiercer warriors. Horse affords mobility that gives us freedom and power, but not the power that weighs us down. We need to be mindful that the most positive relationships are cooperative ones. All participants must respect the power of others with acceptance and tolerance. Our relationship to Horse differs from relationships between man and any other animal because it is a relationship requiring a deep understanding, without which the strength and benefits of Horse are inaccessible.
