Exciting Charity Commission unveiled
I am proud to announce that I have been specially selected by a leading animal charity to help celebrate its 135th Anniversary.
The Horse Trust, which provides retirement and respite care for horses and ponies that served in the police and military, has commissioned myself to create a portrait of three of its most famous horses.
The ‘Horse Trust Legends’ artwork, features the heads of three famous horses from the charity’s history. The late Sefton, a British Army horse, who served for 17 years and survived the Hyde park bombings has been honoured within the piece. Met Police horse, Boris – who was awarded the PDSA’s order of Merit for showing outstanding bravery during the Tottenham riots – and Viscount, the longest serving military horse in history, has also been included.
Now that the painting has been unveiled, the artwork has been made into limited edition prints signed by myself. There will be 250 of the prints available, available in both A4 and A3, with 100% of the profits being donated to the charity.

Testimonials
We commissioned Sarah to do a painting of our son's British Bulldog as a surprise birthday present. The result was stunning. Sarah was extremely helpful throughout the whole process advising on background colours and frame. We would have no hesitation in using Sarah and her skills again or in recommending her to anyone else.
- M & M Jakeway (Derby)
Sarah was very professional and was very accommodating in my request. Being on lockdown wasn’t a problem. Communication and the updates Sarah provided were on point. She was recently on the local news and deserves it. Her work is an absolute credit. Best thing I ever did. My sister works for the NHS and the portrait Sarah did of my Sosters dog ‘Barney’ was just exquisite. It’s my way of being able to thank my sister for the work she did in the worst of the pandemic, seeing her face light up when I presented her with the gift voucher was priceless.
Our pets are precious and now my Sister will always have that part of him forever come what may. Thanks Sarah for everything you have done for me and my Sister.

Isabella describes her painting you did of Bertie as the best thing she has ever had, thank you. Such a great artist.
