Title of
the Saddlebred Bronze shown below: CRITERION
The American Saddlebred art of sculptor Patricia Crane has spanned many decades and is treasured in private and public art collections across the world.
Two of her life size Saddlebred bronze portraits stand in front of two museums at the Kentucky Horse Park, in Lexington.
The museum quality bronze offered below, captures with utter accuracy of form and exactness of spirit the gait for which the Saddlebred is most famous,
and for which the breed is unequalled, the full racking gait. This work is personally important to the sculptor and also to the collector of American Saddlebred Horse
Art. The bronze depicts WC Criterion in a full rack - the containment of speed within exact form and 1200 lbs of flying horse balanced on one leg according to the
progressive syncopation of the racking gait.
The artfulness of a Saddlebred racking joined with the art of bronze:

19.5 inches tall x 27 inches long, plus walnut base.
Portrayed in motion, this sculpture depicts twelve hundred pounds
of living flame balanced on the tip of one hoof. The full "racking" gait of
a multi-titled World Champion American Saddlebred sets the criterion
for verve and brilliance.

Patricia works in many sculptural media and various works can be viewed by returning to the Gallery, the Homepage or using
the links below. There are many price ranges and sizes. Quite a few depict the American Saddlebred, both in the show ring and out.
Equine art has existed since Paleolithic times. American Saddlebred horse art has existed since early American Colonial
times when this breed came into being. It is no surprise that the Saddlebred is a favorite subject of artists. The breed's elegance and splendor of heart and stamina
coupled with their willingness to partner man has made it so. Their animation and extravagant yet contained motion is already an art form fueled by their spirit. How
could an artist not respond? The American Saddlebred is a natural subject whose form and heart find their way into the many art mediums: painting, drawing, photography
and sculpture.
