I had a special love for this horse. He was so intelligent.
I’m glad I painted him before he died.
One day he just lay down and died. I cried for him.

He had his run—won the triple crown. A great horse!

Ian had Sammy for 17 years. If it looks as though Sammy’s eyes are gone, it’s because they are. Ian was obliged to have them removed because of disease. Yet Sammy soldiered on for another 8 years.
