The minimal text ("Playing / Drinking / Bucking") introduces ten horses who inhabit Ten Horse Farm and playfully interact with other animals. From each spread, an exquisite paper-engineered horse springs into three-dimensional space on the page, the movement as the horse pops up often mimicking the activity shown (racing, jumping, etc.). The illustrations' solid colors and simple shapes keep the focus on the dynamic horses.
