A Tribute to the American Paint Horse...Typical of the speech of a
cowboy, the ways of a bucking horse were referred to in colorfully
descriptive terms. When a horse reared wildly and vaulted upwards, mane
flying and hooves flailing as if it intended to go up and up into the
sky, it was called a “cloud hunter.” By making the horse a Paint whose
spots take on the appearance of thunderclouds, the artist has added
another layer of meaning to the old horseman’s saying.
