category: American Saddlebred Horses Title of Bronze shown Below : ACCOLADE The Three Gaited Saddlebred is the very essence of refinement in the world of American Saddlebreds. The work of sculptor Patricia Crane often features American Saddlebred Horses so it is only fitting that the head study ( shown below) is a popular example within the greater collection of her work. Saddlebreds are internationally known as gaited horses who possesses a natural and outstanding ability to perform two additional gaits of the 'slow gait' and the 'rack'. No other gaited breed can compare to their animation and speed. Yet the Three Gaited Saddlebred remains one of the most elegant horses in the world today. The "walk trot horse" exhibits fineness and collection, with energy being directed toward animation and precision rather than speed and they are exhibited in the show ring with a shaved mane to accentuate their fine, long necks and elegant bodies. Patricia is known for the anatomical exactness of her work and for always capturing an ever-present elegance, a consistent expression of the actual reality of the individual horse's own combination of elegance in form and spirit. The superb refinement of the Three Gaited Saddlebred lends itself well to the expression which has become this sculptor's trademark. Patricia's life size horse sculpture is very well known and smaller of her artworks are in collections in many countries.

Patricia has worked in many sculpture media, from bronze to porcelain and the rare Raku, to hand-painted pewter and resin.

The "fineness" of a three gaited Saddlebred, displays elegance and polished perfection to the acclaim of all horse lovers. This mare's kind eye and "heads up" expression define the word exquisite. (The head study displays the trimmed mane to further highlight the classic lines of the "walk-trot" horse.) patricia@artbycrane.com (765-288-0484) Return to Bronze Sculpture Gallery Also Visit the site's main section for the Saddlebred Other bronze sculpture links, with sculpture titles, are as follows: Horse Sculpture: American Saddlebred Bronze (After The Class) Bronze Horse Sculpture (Caliburn) American Saddlebred Horse Art (Criterion) Sporting Art: Thoroughbred Bronze Horse Sculpture (Cooling Down) Filly Bronze Sculptures: Horse Decor (The Filly) Horse Sculptures: Morgan Horses: American Saddlebred (The Gathering) Hackney Ponies: horse Decor Bronze Sculpture (Man on the Town) Morgan Horses: Bronze Sculpture (Odyssey) Bronze Horse: American Saddlebred Sculpture (The Phoenix) Hackney Pony: Horse Decor (Risin Tide) Mustang Horse Art: Cowboy Sculpture (Spooked) Thoroughbred Art: Horse Racing Art Sculpture (Handicap Horse) Fine Harness Horse: Bronze Sculpture (Triumph) Life Size Horse Sculpture (Supreme Sultan for American Saddle Horse Museum) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
