Going Horse-Crazy On Your Personal Checks

By Alan Plastin


Today, it is becoming more and more popular to personalize your bank checks with images that are unique and distinctive. There are many themes that are available to choose from, but horse checks are by far one of the most common.

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?

The idea of the horse doesn't always have the same meaning from one person to the next. Luckily, there is an array of themes when it comes to checks, which means there is something for everyone. One thing that horses can signify is beauty. Images of carousel ponies might be attractive in this instance.

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.

Equine images also signify the old west, where the cowboy life has been romanticized. When the west was being settled, possessing a horse was the most important thing you could have. The west represented a new life, starting over, and having freedom to many. It inspired a genre of music and film. Gorgeous desert landscapes and wild horses can generally be found on these horse checks.

Horses can also signify strength and power. Horses are large and compelling, and yet can be so gentle that even a small child can ride them. Some horse personal checks contain images of powerful horses running through fields or crashing through turbulent waves with their manes flying in the wind.

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.
