I get a little choked up when I see paintings of horses. I have no other connection to horses. It's very quick and generally jumbled with thoughts of "Uhhhhh, what in the world is happening right now?"

Out of curiosity, have you ever checked out the paintings of Xu Beihong? He's famous for painting very expressive horses.

Haven't seen them before. They're a bit abstract, but after a couple of drinks they'll probably do it.
Horses are absolutely beautiful, loving, intelligent, fragile, kind and elegant creatures, so I won't hold that against you. That said, my soft spot from horses (which I otherwise have little mental connection to) probably comes from growing up around them.
