Quarter Horses are generally not known for being spooky or wary, so I was a bit surprised to come across a photo with this assertive look in the Quarter Horse’s eye. I was working on the portrait wondering who drew his attention and what the result of assertion was. Later it took some more digging around to find out that indeed, this breed can be quite reserved with strangers, and that took a little bit of mystery out of the portrait for me.
