TRACY Piggott is a fan and on Wednesday she opened an exhibition of equestrian artist David Baird’s works in the Craft Granary, Cahir, Co Tipperary which runs through until August 17th.

David Baird first began on this Horse People collection of painting almost 10 years ago. He now works constantly on this record of people connected to various aspects of the equine industry. He strives for an excellent likeness, recognisable posture and those small personal details which capture a readily identifiable representation of each character. The result is top class as David shares his admiration for that wondrous beast – the horse.
