Original Equestrian Art for Collectors, Riders & Refined Interiors.
Rugged Grace: Original Equestrian Art & Private Commissions
Rugged Grace is a collection of original equestrian fine art and privately commissioned works exploring the quiet tension between horse and rider.
Each one-of-one piece is built through layered paper surfaces, photographic fragments and hand-applied interventions—pressed, stitched, scored, marked and drilled to reveal both precision and vulnerability.
Created for private collectors, riders, interior designers and galleries seeking work with presence, provenance and emotional restraint.
Carl Hester & Rider in Motion
Presented to Carl Hester at the World Equestrian Center
Olympic dressage icon Carl Hester encountered Rider in Motion — a work from this collection — during a moment that perfectly echoed the spirit of Rugged Grace: where dressage artistry meets emotional restraint.
CARL HESTER AT THE WORLD EQUESTRIAN CENTER
“Scott’s process is unlike anything I’ve encountered in the equestrian art world. The textures, emotion, and movement he captures are truly original — I’ve never seen work quite like this.”
For Collectors, Designers & Equestrian Spaces
These are not simply pictures of horses. They are tactile, one-of-one works created for collectors who understand the unseen discipline behind the image—and for interiors that call for presence without excess.
Made in Kansas City. Collected Globally.
Scott Runkel’s one-of-one works are held in 25 private collections globally, including the private collection of Olympic dressage champion Carl Hester. Each original is signed and delivered with the discretion and care discerning collectors expect.
