His life and career were intertwined with the flourishing equestrian culture of 18th and 19th century England, where horses played a central role in transportation, leisure, and sport.

Bath provided him with ample inspiration, as it was frequented by horse enthusiasts, aristocrats, and sporting elites. Here, Loder immersed himself in the world of equestrianism, observing horses in various settings, from racing tracks to country estates. Loder's artistic talent soon gained recognition, and he established himself as a prominent equestrian artist. His paintings captured the essence of the horse, portraying them with remarkable accuracy and sensitivity.

Throughout his career, Loder exhibited his works at prestigious venues, including the Royal Academy in London and the Bath Society of Artists. His paintings were sought after by collectors, nobility, and prominent figures of his time. Beyond his artistic pursuits, Loder was known for his affable personality and love for horses. He enjoyed participating in equestrian events, socializing with fellow artists and patrons, and sharing his passion for equine art with others.
