'On the Warpath' by Rob Hefferan, acrylic on canvas, framed in black and cream wood, 22" x 22" (56 cm x 41 cm).
Hefferan’s portrait of a female polo player with her pony has that signature blend of elegance and athletic charge he does so well. The rider stands close to her mount, one hand resting with easy familiarity, the other still carrying the quiet echo of competition. Warm, directional light skims across her helmet, hair, and the pony’s attentive profile, pulling them forward from the dark ground so the moment feels both intimate and quietly heroic—a pause between chukkas where partnership takes centre stage.
