Hildred was successful as a Western painter and sculptor because her subjects have always been the horses she knew and loved. Her great love of horses began during childhood on a farm in Michigan, where she studied each detail of the teams of workhorses used in everyday chores. When she began to paint and sculpt, Hildred relied on her knowledge of horses to create thousands of pieces depicting life in the West.
