    Abstract: A portable artist's horse includes a pair of generally parallelepiped bench sections containing individual storage compartments which are hinged to provide a bench and pallet (or drawing board) support in an erected configuration and to allow folding to a compact travel configuration which can be easily transported by pulling or pushing. A pair of spaced-apart rollers provide mobility, and a pair of lifting handles, which are interconnected by latches, allow manipulation of the horse in transport condition. The rollers are received in pockets in the other bench section with the horse in its erected condition, and the lifting handles are integral portions of legs which stably support the bench in its erected configuration.
