NickerDoodles: ‘Win By a Nose’

Melanie Eberhardt turns her imagination loose on a common racing expression.

From Melanie: “The Kentucky Derby is only a month away. The 3-year-olds are racing to qualify and the odds makers are setting the odds. I’ve been studying the horses and I nose exactly who I’d bet on to win!”

About Melanie: I am an artist in Atlanta. When I’m not painting, I’m riding horses. I have 3 retired Arabians and a snotty pony at home. They keep me on my toes. Three years ago I bought a young OTTB straight off the track. My new fella, Bubba, and I are learning dressage. Sadly, I’m the weak link on Team Bubba, but I learn something every time we ride so it’s all good. I started NickerDoodles to document the horsey antics that abound within my world. I’m very fortunate to balance my life with things that I love – painting and riding – and NickerDoodles gives me a forum to share. If we’re not laughing at our horses and ourselves, we’re probably crying. I prefer to laugh! I hope everyone enjoys NickerDoodles.
