Print size 16″ X 18″, Image Size 8″ X 12″

This print has been in storage since 1967 and has slight discolorations around the print border which does not distract from the beauty of the print and would be easily covered up when matted and framed.

Thoroughbred horse people find no more lovely, hopeful and inspiring sight than that of “mares and foals at pasture.” Embodied are all the beauty and productivity of the matronly body of the casually patient mother, coupled with the implicit trust of the foal; the ever-springing hope of the owner for the new “crop” of suckling’s, among which there just may be a champion of the future; and, finally, the old but ever-new concept of nature continually renewing herself by bringing forth the young from the old. Mares normally carry their foals about eleven months, suckle them about six months.
While thoroughbreds are foaled anywhere from January to June, they all have their “birthdays” on January 1st according to rules of The Jockey Club, with which about 9,000 thoroughbred foals are registered each year in the United States.
