enamel horses with a dreamy background containing subtle details.

Unlike the angry Serpent and ferocious Dragon, the Horses look untamed and powerful. The contrast of the white and black horses makes an interesting dial.

What are your thoughts on this enamel dial, how do the horses compare to the serpent and dragon, and which horse do you like more ?

FYI, Below are links to my posts on my hunt for each of them.
