Title of bronze shown below : THOROUGHBRED HANDICAP HORSE Thoroughbred Art and horse racing art, is a genre as old as mankind's efforts to breed the perfect sporting horse. Thoroughbred horses can achieve speeds of just under 40 miles and hour for a distance of a mile and hold undisputed reign as king of horse racing. Thoroughbreds are used as racehorses, and are also enjoyed as a family riding horse, but there are very few competitive areas in the equine world where one does not find the Thoroughbred horse ( dressage, hunters, jumpers, eventing, carriage, etc). Horse Racing art works depicting the Thoroughbred horse have been around alomst as long as the horse so it is no surprise that the genre of Throughbred Art is popular the world over. The bronze displayed below is an early tribute by an internationally known sculptor whose life was influenced from childhood on by the deepness of heart and nobility of character of so many handicap champions of the turf, the champions of the field and steeplechasing and the personal champions of her own stable and of her heart. Many bronzes by Patricia Crane are displayed on this website along with an online expo of the creation of a life size sculpture for The Kentucky Horse Park. Just use the Homepage menu or return to the Bronze Gallery. The days preceding and including the days of Kelso and Forego inspired the sample of Thoroughbred Art bronze shown below, but the ongoing nobility of the Thoroughbred continues to inspire us all in so many ways...
