Gibson and the Apocalypse: Instincts

Call it a gut feeling.

With their often rather intimidating size, it can be easy to forget that a horse’s first reaction to danger is flight and not fight. While it’s certainly a good idea to avoid whatever sort of predator could take down a one-ton, 40mph boulder on stilts, sometimes we have to deal with a few…disproportionate reactions.

But better safe than sorry, right?

Jenny Kammerer is a professional artist, video producer and frustrated Philadelphia sports fan who’s been in the saddle since the age of four. When she was 16, she met her Paint/QH/Draft cross Gibson (aka Guitar Solo) as a green two-year-old, and quickly settled into the training side of equestrianism, drawing inspiration from the techniques of Pat Parelli and other natural horsemanship teachers. Known for most of her childhood as both the awkward artsy one and the weird horse girl, she always seemed destined to draw nonsensical horse cartoons. In addition to her independent illustration work, she currently teaches painting classes at Painting With A Twist and produces short-form documentaries that can be seen on www.Horse.TV.
