There is an important thing when it comes to art, and that is about Copyright stuff. You may see many pictures with either faded text on it (a watermark) or even a copyright symbol ©. I know you all want to have pictures for your VHR horses, but linking random pictures you find on Google.com to your horses is known as "hotlinking" and most people detest that. Mainly because it is taking up their bandwidth, but it is also illegal to steal other people's pictures without their permission.

The best way to avoid this is to either take your own photos, draw your own pictures or pay for someone to draw them for you. There are stock sites available which have photos that you can use, but generally you have to pay for using them.

Before doing your own art, please take a moment to read our forum thread on artwork, the copyright law and the Orbis policy link

Below are some links to things that may help you with getting pictures for your horses, the legal way.
