Tuff Break

In the fall of 1959, renowned equine photographer Marshall Hawkins captured this image of Mrs. C.F. Blair and Tuffy coming a cropper while following the Bath County hounds in western Virginia.

Hawkins, of Warrenton, Va., shot foxhunting, flat racing, steeplechasing, polo, eventing and showing across the country for more than 50 years, capturing iconic images of Secretariat at the 1973 Preakness Stakes and First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy riding and hunting in northern Virginia in the mid-1960s.
