Marit van Delft is our giveaway winner
Last week we presented our anniversary interview with Croatian sculptor Hrvoje Dumančić, who is celebrating his 20th year as an artist. In honor of this amazing achievement we are giving away one of his coveted sculptures!
We asked you to share forgotten childhood memories with us, and we received many forgotten memories, lovingly remembered and written down by you. Memories that illustrate how wonderful it is to have horses as a companion on life’s great adventures, as a comforter in difficult times and how much joy and unconditional love they give. In short, you are as touched by ‘horse magic’ as Hrvoje is!
One of those inspirational memories stood out from all the entries we received. Congratulations to Marit van Delft who wrote a beautiful, touching poem reflecting on her memories of warm summer days watching Friesian horses in the fields, called ‘the Black Summer’.
“Summers in Friesland, yellow and sunny. With horses as black as coal. Always cheerful, interested and optimistic. Love over the fence by a pet, a breeze an intriguing look. Looking over opulent green fields, tranquility, warmth.
Hours gazing at freedom, the sounds of summer, buzzing, chirping. Horses as black as coal with mane so long. Brown eyes peek behind black strands of hair at a world full of freedom.
A herd of horses as black as coal, sleeping and playing. Horses as black as coal shining in the summer sun, waving at buzzing teasing flies, shaking their beautiful heads, a wealth of mane”
The Black Summer — Marit van Delft
