Personalizing Your Checks with Your Love of Horses

By Alan Plastin


These days, it's not uncommon for people to want to personalize their personal checks with images that are meaningful. Whether you order your checks online or at your bank, there are hundreds of themes available to choose from. Of these themes, horses are one of the most popular.

A lot of little girls go through the stage of wanting a horse when they are young. Some never outgrow that love and continue with their love of horses into adulthood. Likewise, many men find themselves having bonds with their horses that sometimes surpass their bonds with their human counterparts. So what makes horses special and why do we love them so much?

Horses can mean different things to different people and the imagery on the horse checks you order can relate this. Sometimes, horses can represent a thing of delicate beauty. These images can come in the form of carousel horses or porcelain horses. Carousel horses can also be a fond memory from childhood.

Or, horses can correspond to sports, like horseracing or polo. Horse personal checks with these images can be found as well. Horseracing is one of the most intense sports there is. Horses can race neck and neck and win by a nose, making it very exciting. Rodeos are also a popular sport that features horses. The modern day cowboy can be found in images of the rodeo.

The old west, where cowboys were rugged and the horses were wild, is also symbolized by equine images. If you order horse checks with these images, expect them to be filled with desert images and beautiful landscapes. Going out west used to represent an adventure and having a horse back then was a vital part of surviving.

Horses can be a symbol of power, strength, and beauty. The fact that horses are so large and powerful, and yet can be tamed and ridden by even the smallest person, is exhilarating. Many horse-themed checks have images of exuberant horses running through crashing waves or riding carefree across the plains.

In addition to having a personal love of horses, they have been featured in many popular forms of media. John Wayne was almost never without his horse. Mr. Ed is still one of television's most popular characters. "My Little Pony", nearly thirty years later, can still be found on children's lunch boxes and bedroom sets.

Many people chose to showcase their love of horses through framed prints in their homes, airbrushed pictures on their vehicles, and prints on their clothing. For those that love horses and feel a special bond with them, they can almost become part of your identity. Using their image on horse personal checks is a good way to not only personalize your checks, but to demonstrate your interest in horses as well.

Ordering your checks online will usually save you 50% on the price of the checks. If you look at online check web sites you can find a substantial savings. You are also able to order duplicate checks and checkbook covers at most sites. The turnaround time is a couple of days; about the same amount of time you would wait if you ordered them at your bank.
