A Tehachapi resident who runs a riding stable, Ms Amber is the real deal. Beautiful and Brave, her favorite horse to ride is one her father had picked out for her, and named in honor of him. "Little Miguel" is "Miguelito". I was going to name this painting "Dream", as she's stopped along the way to look up at the hills beyond, after a good run along the foothills, but there was so much beauty in reality of this scene, I just thought being straightforward about the characters said enough. That, and her name is echoed in the color of the wild grass.
