A place where horses are more than just animals.

In many regions of the Middle East, horses have held extraordinary significance for centuries. They were not only kept, but accompanied. Not only ridden, but shared: providing routes, water, shelter, and companionship.

This bond is almost unique worldwide. It is based on respect, trust, and genuine care. To this day, families, stables, and breeding farms invest enormous attention in the nutrition, care, husbandry, and health of their horses – often at a level that is considered an international benchmark.

This artwork captures precisely this idea: It depicts a moment in which the animal does not have to function. It shows tranquility, not performance.

It shows appreciation, not possession. A horse that settles down and arrives – safe, trusting, natural. A quiet image that reflects the attitude of many people in this region: that a horse is a living being with a soul.

That caring is not a luxury, but a tradition. And that true connection arises where an animal is given space – not tasks. Brandhoek makes this idea visible: a moment that doesn't explain, but shows why horses have been treated with special respect here for generations.
