For me, the horse and rider represent the journey of one’s life.  There are many plateaus along the way of life and I guess, that as I experience them, I create a new horse and rider. ‘The Quiet’ is a piece that comes from a time in life of peace, of meditation of being in tune with one’s inner being.  The rider and horse are at one, the horse is strong and sturdy and is trusted by the rider, the rider is at one with the horse and at one with life.
