"A magnificent study in pencil, this drawing combines the intensity of fine detail with a calm and velvety touch. True to the purpose set forth in the drawing’s title, this work is a reminder of our connection to all living things. The power of the gaze, much deconstructed in contemporary art criticism, here remains quiet, almost knowable, in this stunningly rendered animal." - a quote from the Horses in Art Cover Art Results

"Kim Ragsdale loves horses and people and looks for any opportunity to draw them or talk with them. Her art portrays her love for her subjects, and though she most often works from photographs, she captures something in the faces that doesn't show in the photo. There's an inner spiritual quality that comes through." - a quote from the article "Capturing the Moment", by author and artist Sandy Cathcart.
