"Lullaby" 2010© by Suzanne Grassell

This sculpture is based on my own experience.  When my Arabian mare gave birth to her first and only foal when I was 15 years old, I was thrilled.  Even though she had every right to be protective of her colt, my mare let me share her new motherhood.  I have a photo of me sitting on the ground in the shade cast by her body, right next to her little foal.  One thing I always loved about that photo is how nurturing my mare looked; it almost felt like she was enveloping me in her mothering gaze along with her little one.  In the years that followed, I would raise and train that colt myself, and he followed me to homes in three different cities.  I still have both horses all these years later.  They will always be special to me.  I know I'm not the only woman out there who's been fortunate enough to have raised a foal from its mother's side.  This sculpture is for all of us!
