This Blog is Moving!

After much neglect due to a busy schedule – I’ve decided to amalgamate this blog with my studio blog. The new link is:

http://jennprattequineartist.wordpress.com

I’ve been consumed with commission work and being a mom to my ‘almost’ four year old boy to devote the time required to run two blogs. It is very time demanding, when I should really be painting. However; the good news is, I will still be working on the ’Canadian Bred Series’. It will be forever ongoing, but now it will run off my main studio blog.

I will keep this post up for about  two months, so hopefully everyone will see it. In the meantime, I will be moving many of the horses featured in my blog over to the other blog.  Eventually I will be deleting this blog once I’m up to speed.

Thank you everyone, I hope you will join me on the other blog, so you can continue to enjoy all those wonderfully Canadian Bred Sporthorses!!
