Mixed Media on paper

Signed on the front.

Hussonet was a leading international stallion of 20 champions and 30 Grade/Group 1 winners on four different continents. He was the sire of 840 career winners who have amassed earnings of over US$63 million. He was a legend of a horse to many, often seen rearing up while being paraded around the ring.
Here, my goal was to capture the dangerous tension as the horse handler at Arrowfield Stud, Scone NSW, gives the prize stallion just enough lead to let him rear up and stretch his legs. He remains calmly in control of the magnificent racehorse that has been named Champion Sire many times over and fathered numerous champions continuing the success of his impressive bloodline.
