Loads o' Horse Photos

[WhiteCamry]

Google has posted old Life Magazine photos here (http://images.google.com/hosted/life).
:)

Type in "horses" and lose a day's work looking at them.
:D

Type in "Calumet Farm" and see color and b&w photos of a thoroughbred kingdom at its height of glory in 1953.
:sadsmile:

Great pics, WhiteCamry! Thanks for the link. :)

There is a fabulous pic of Man O' War. I have never seen that one before. Too bad you can only buy it framed and not just buy the print.

Ohhh ahh! Now this is a great way to spend a ton of time :D

Silky Sullivan pictures (LIFE) (http://images.google.com/images?q=silky+sullivan&q=source%3Alife)

Look at him in the saddling area before the Santa Anita Derby - he looks like he's pure muscle! See second row down, then fourth pic from the left.

Holy cats, what a wonderful collection of photos!

I still have the Silky Sullivan Breyer model. :)

They don't look like they're ready for a Maiden Allowance race at Saratoga (http://images.google.com/hosted/life/l?imgurl=5705596b9f9fc74d&q=saratoga+source:life&usg=__OdTbfvO6maLyyl88KmI4ox2ZBi0=&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dsaratoga%2Bsource:life%26start%3D90%2 6ndsp%3D18%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN) :D

Regardless they do have a big fan club lining the Saratoga rail in support (http://images.google.com/hosted/life/l?imgurl=c86934ff899d4950&q=saratoga+source:life&usg=__RVLTQR8mgdtwj9JZQandJKdck28=&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dsaratoga%2Bsource:life%26start%3D90%2 6ndsp%3D18%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN)

Could you imagine being a part of that back then! Beautiful pictures, thank you!

It's not working anymore. Jeesh. It only brought up 2 horses and this must be a twin whose sibling died? It doesn't really look like a dwarf:

Looks like the Oklahoma track.

Talk about ruining your toe shoes.

Goodness, thank you SO much for sharing! Wow. Love the pictures of Mrs. Markey in the cemetery. Haunting. I've deduced that the horse in the Widener blanket is Armed. Would love to know who the flashy blaze-faced chestnut foal with four stockings grew up to be.
