[Woodcarver] Horse dimensions

[Joe Dillett]

Hi Lloyd,

I just went to my Dogpile search engine and typed in 'drawing horses'. This
is what I got.

http://elfwood.lysator.liu.se/farp/horses/horses.html by By Suzanne Jessup
(sebocat at gci.net) a great instructional web site. There is lots of pictures
to measure those relationships.

http://www.horsinaround.homestead.com/drawhorses.html This site is less
detailed but also good to see the basic structure.

http://www.cpchallenge.com/lessons/BrendaBruckner/page1.html This site you
can quickly get the side-view relationship of the head size to the rest of
the feature sizes. Go through all the pages because it is a good
instruction.

http://www.paintedcowboy.com/horses/Manual.html This site is an on-line
manual that can be printed for a cost.
