Snowy - A beautiful grey!

Commission created for Charlotte Cameron depicting her beautiful Grey Pony Snowy.

Charlotte has a incredible bond with Snowy after rescuing her from a Welsh Mountain Side after seeing that she was struggling to survive. When Charlotte got Snowy home it was discovered that she was malnourished, literally skin and bone and full of lice. Charlotte dedicated her time and affection into getting Snowy back to full health, she learnt everything with Charlotte; how to be groomed, lead, and then when she had finally come back into condition she was slowly placed into work.

It was discovered that Snowy was a fast learner and the bond grew stronger each day; now Snowy will happily cwtch up to Charlotte in the Stable and fall asleep. 

Charlotte rescued Snowy with the intention of giving her a new life with her brother, but unfortunately her brother outgrew Snowy before he could ride her for long, so instead Snowy had a very easy life being a field companion for Charlottes horse and she found that actually, given the right conditions to thrive, she was in fact a very good-doer. Charlotte says that Snowy always ends up resembling a pudding during the Summer months haha!

Snowy has a young jockey who is now riding her and who has huge plans for the summer with a full show schedule, such a happy story for this beautiful little horse, Charlotte describes her as the pony version of the ugly duckling. As you can see thanks to the love and care Charlotte gave to Snowy, she transformed into the natural welsh beauty that she was always meant to be. Snowy was a joy to depict for Charlotte, as she is incredibly Bonnie and well loved, this is Charlottes second commission after I created a portrait of her beautiful Palomino Solly. Snowy and Solly live together and now are celebrated together in Charlottes home depicted within her bespoke artwork

It was a pleasure to create this piece, and I was overjoyed to receive very kind feedback from the client:-

"Wow wow wow Katie Hough has outdone her self yet again. To say I'm overwhelmed is an understatement. This had me welling up when it arrived today, I cannot believe how life like it is to snowy but in Katie's unique style. She is the most understanding lady and has chatted for hours with me over what was wanted on both commissions as she knows how important they were to me, I'm so lucky to have one of both Solly and Snowy now. I highly recommend her to anyone. Xxxx"


"Ive had 2 commissions by Katie and both have brought me to tears. Katie spends so much time getting to know each one and whats important to you and what you are looking for. She even manages to capture the cheeky glint in the ponies eyes. I highly recommend Katie to anyone and everyone I know. She is by far the best and most lovely person. I need to buy another horse now just so Katie can commission it haha xxxx "
