Life size horse sculptures have existed for thousands and thousands of years. Life scale marble horses have pulled the chariots of the Gods of ancient civilizations. Bronze horses have carried famous people into history beyond their lifetimes and preserved the spirit of power, elegance and freedom horses bring to the life of man. Full scale sculptures seen against the sky have a magnificence of expression only equaled by real life horses. Since Egyptian times horses have been beloved for their personality and companionship as well as for services to human kind so it is not surprising that life size sculptures of the equine have continued to be popular.

Supreme Sultan - Article

The life size horse sculptures by Patricia Crane are what first established her reputation as an international sculptor. Her bronze portraiture sculptures capture the individual personality of a horse as well as the precise individual anatomy and it is no wonder that full scale sculptures were noticed and valued. Many of her works are available for viewing by using the menu at the left.

The Saddlebred stallion Supreme Sultan had already achieved international fame as a phenomenal sire of inestimable worth and brilliance. Sultan changed the history of his entire breed. The meeting of the sculptor and the stallion resulted in a now very well known life size horse sculpture, a portrait bronze, which is installed just outside the front doors of the American Saddlebred Museum in Kentucky. The record books overflow with the accomplishments of Sultan's progeny and he now lies buried beneath his bronze portrait (Photos below).

Supreme Sultan's carriage, poise and power as he trotted freely across his home fields, completely natural in every aspect, has been forever captured by Patricia Crane's sculpture and enables the impact of this incredible stallion to be shared by each and every viewer into the long stretches of the future. The artwork is small payback for the elegance and spirit with which this grand individual equine star graced the lives of all those who knew him.
