Prepare to be taken to some of the most beautiful destinations around the world – in equine form! Artist Sommer Prosser has dreamed up a new series highlighting both the beauty of our world, and the horses that inhabit it.
Our third location in the Exotic Destinations series takes us someplace warm – Rio de Janeiro! The capitol of Brazil, it boasts both spectacular beaches and nightlife, as well as ecological reserves and lush parks.
A fine Mangalarga Marchador stallion, artist Sommer Prosser designed Rio’s sooty buckskin coat to be reminiscent of the golden sand beaches that line Rio de Janeiro’s coastline. His deep shading and dapples also remind us that Rio is also surrounded by mountains and deep forests. The national horse breed of Brazil, the Mangalarga Marchador is a smooth-gaited steed that is treasured for its hardiness and intelligence. He features “Rio 2024” on his belly in gold.
