James Archambeault's Horse Country

In Kentucky Horse Country: Images of the Bluegrass, renowned photographer James Archambeault captures the natural beauty of Kentucky's Bluegrass region and the thoroughbred industry for which it is famous. Kentucky Horse Country contains 165 full-color images, from tender scenes of mares and foals grazing, to the excitement of race day at Keeneland, to gorgeous landscapes of white fences enclosing lush rolling hills. The book also includes rare photographs of some of the legendary horses that have made horse racing so exciting and popular: Affirmed, Spectacular Bid, Secretariat, Seattle Slew, and others.

James Archambeault has been an independent photographer for over twenty-five years. He has published five books: James Archambeault's Historic Kentucky, Kentucky, Kentucky II, Kentucky III, and The Gift of Pleasant Hill. His work has appeared in several national publications, including Architectural Digest, National Geographic, and the Smithsonian Guides to Natural America.

I have the 16x20" poster of the photo he took of Secretariat "Romping in His Paddock" numbered and signed. It looks like it was taken early in morning in early spring. The grass is a soft green w/yellow maybe buttercups and Secretariat's coat in one area looks like he's sheeding winter coat. It has an impressionistic quality. I have a nice gold deep frame for it w/just the right amount of filigree. It needed more than just a brown wood frame. I love it more than formal look.
