The Wild Horses puzzle by photographer Peter Doran is a 550-piece jigsaw puzzle featuring a montage of wild horses. In short, it celebrates the famous herds of the Virginia and North Carolina coast.
About the Artwork
These wild horses live along the coastline of southern Virginia and the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Seeing them roam free on the sand is a highlight for many visitors.
The montage design brings several horse photographs together in one puzzle. As a result, each section offers a different view of these beautiful animals.
In addition, because they’re photographs, the images capture the real colors and textures of the horses and the shore.
Where to Start
Start with the border, then build each horse photograph one at a time, using the borders between images as a guide, since it stands out right away. Next, work on the horses themselves, matching their coloring. After that, piece together the beach and dune backgrounds. Finally, fill in any remaining areas, sorting those pieces by shade.

I truly loved this puzzle when I purchased it but when I put it together in the largest scene a piece of the sky was not in the box. I am so disappointed. I wanted to frame it on the wall of my room. I would have given you five stars if only all the pieces were in the box.
