Artist Leland Neff captured Molly Ashe and Resolute while in a jump-off at the 1999 Hampton Classic Horse show in Bridgehampton, N.Y. The painting, a 27″ x 36″ oil, was also selected and published at the North Fork Classic (N.Y.) poster in 2000.

Neff, East Hampton, N.Y., is an internationally known artist and photographer. He studied art at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, majoring in photography and fine art. He’s shot polo in Argentina, traveled to England to photograph foxhunts, practiced dressage and then switched to jumping–while constantly drawing, sketching and painting horses and their owners. Neff sometimes barters his talents for riding lessons.

Each year Neff donates a painting for both the New York Horse Rescue Association and the Countryside Alliance. Neff cares for three horses at his home, including his adopted Thoroughbred mare Scarlett.
