Welcome

In The Passion for Horses & Artistic Talent: An Unrecognized Connection, Dr. Robert M. Miller, veterinarian/author/ cartoonist/horseman focuses on a previously unrecognized connection. He believes and presents convincing evidence that there is a genetic factor in some people that leads them to make horses a central theme in their lives, and that this genetic factor is also linked to artistic talent. That talent can take many forms: drawing, painting, sculpting, music, dancing, and other creative arts.

Dr. Miller's newest book explains this connection, and provides numerous profiles of horsemen and -women who come from creative backgrounds. The Passion for Horses also explores the mystique horses hold for so many, and why it is the most revered of all domestic animals.

Profiles include case studies of the working cowboy. Dr. Miller believes it is the relationship with the horse that keeps these underpaid, highly-skilled people in their arduous occupation, just as it explains the popularity of cowboy poetry and Western art.
