Chevalette was brought into being to show us the power in our freedom and how that must be balanced with the power of responsibility. The Native Americans painted their horses as a sacred act, the hand often representing a successful mission. The horse represents expansive energy as the domestication of them created connections between societies and multiplied the freedom of movement for our ancestors.
Chevalette shows us how to honor what our civilization has given us so that we may swiftly step forward in true liberty.
