To whom it might concern,

My name is Enar, I'm a MFA student at the San Francisco Art Institute and I wondered whether anyone on this forum could help me with a quite unusual request. Me and two post-docs in physics are currently working on a photography project, for which we are looking for stuffed animals, more specifically a horse.

Do you know of anybody around the Bay Area that would be willing to borrow us their stuffed horse for one or two days? If not, do you know anyone who might be able to help us? If you have any questions about our project I'd be happy to tell you more about it.

Thank you so much for your help,

Enar de Dios Rodriguez

Details about our project:
In 1878 Muybridge developed fast photography with exposure times in the millisecond range. He used it to unravel the movements of a horse at full speed. He did his work at Stanford and it is now exposed at the Cantor art center. In our project, we use modern technology to watch a pulse of light move across a room, which happens within a few billionth of a second. As a reference to Muybridge it would be great to image light move across a horse (a stuffed horse) or a similar animal.
 
I saw this one at a museum just south(26 miles) of Twin Falls Idaho
If you can get a hold of them, they might get you enough pictures or info.

Its called Jerry Lee Young's Idaho Heritage Museum

Thanks Yelum! Unfortunately, we're carrying out the project in a lab in Stanford and Idaho is a bit far from us... We're looking for a stuffed horse around northern California.
