  Title of the Sporting Bronze Shown below :  COOLING DOWN

Sporting Art is valued the world over, and sporting themes in bronze are very collectible.

Other Thoroughbred bronzes and artist bio can be seen in other sections of this website. This sculptor's bronzes are of museum quality and are in both private and museum collections the world over.

The elegant but substantive look of the Thoroughbred "Blood-Horse" is distinctive , with various characteristics evident in various family lines. Throughout centuries and into the future Sporting Art strives to capture, honor and share the nobility of a sporting animal so very deep through the heart - a role model for us all.

Thoroughbred Filly


Museum quality Sporting Bronze edition of 12 - email or call for current pricing.

Measurements are 24 inches high x 24 inches long, plus walnut base.

Even with her task accomplished after the workout, this Thoroughbred
is still "fired up". With distended nostrils and eyes still aglow, her
face expresses the "heart" and substance of a blood horse.

It is safe to say that Thoroughbred horses, with their consistent heart and courage have taken the world by storm as well as the hearts of mankind. It is then no wonder at all that the Thoroughbred being an integral part of the sporting world has meaning to collectors far beyond any measurable value.

The equine sporting world includes individual sports but the Thoroughbred in sheer class and accomplishment excels outstandingly. Sporting can include racing, and fox hunting  but both require speed, agility and the willingness to do, or heart and stamina.  There are many warmblood horses today, but most all were developed with Thoroughbred blood and all strive for the characteristics displayed by the Thoroughbred.  To succeed in sporting activities involving horses, those characteristics are extremely desirable, hence the ongoing success of the Thoroughbred in all sporting activities.  Equine Sporting artists strive to depict those same valued characteristics in their themes -- the same themes that endear horses to man in every instance of their long time partnership.
