Equine Infectious Anemia (EIA), also known as Swamp Fever, is a very contagious and dangerous horse virus. I learned a lot about it yesterday through several credible online articles and even started an article about it on wikiHow: http://www.wikihow.com/Tell-if-Your-Horse-has-EIA
Let me know what you think!

Digging out the Watercolors
A friend had a birthday recently and I decided I'd make her a really simple horse card. It took 4 versions, but I finally got the horse's look right. :)
The eye color isn't that of your average horse, but I was basing this off a palomino stud I know. He's got amber eyes, a stripe down his face, and does have red-gold highlighted mane and steel dust jowls. This representation of him is a bit refined (it looks more like a mare than a stud; a Morgan than a QH), but perhaps a future revision will be more accurate.
The scanner didn't quite capture the true color, and the muzzle is shaped a little oddly when you think about it, but I'm pleased with this horse. I'm still awful at drawing whole horses, but at least I can do the heads. :)
