Quarter Pounder By Wendy O’Brien

This week’s cover, Quarter Pounder, is a pastel depicting Wendy O’Brien’s retired Haflinger pony who competed successfully in combined driving events to the advanced level.

Artist Jeannie Jennings Heard has been creating pastel equine and canine art for more than 20 years, first in Hunterdon County, N.J., and now in Aiken, S.C. She rides and drives her own Fjord mare, Tina.
