Be one of the first to own this fine art tribute to famous thoroughbred Northern Dancer!
Northern Dancer (Nearctic x Natalma by Native Dancer) was the 1964 Kentucky Derby winner and the most successful Thoroughbred sire of the 20th Century! Born in Canada at Edward P. Taylor's Windfields Stud, Northern Dancer was small in size and largely ignored as a yearling. But in his two years of racing, he won 14 of his 18 races and never finished worse than third. He was named North America's champion 3-year-old colt of 1964 and Canadian Horse of the Year. Later, Northen Dancer proved to be an exceptional sire, producing multiple champions in both the United States and the United Kingdom. In the 1980s, Northern Dancer's stud fee reached US $1 million, a record amount more than four times his rivals. Northern Dancer and his sons (including Danzig, El Gran Senor, Lyphard, Nureyev, Storm Bird, Nijinksy, Vice Regent, and others) established a royal dynasty that continues to profoundly dominate the international Thoroughbred horse market.Artist Heather Rohde's vibrant fine art portrait of Northern Dancer is the perfect way to remember the great stallion. Quote on the border of the artwork states: "The Thoroughbred has been forever changed by this little horse with a giant's heart." You can purchase Northern Dancer either unframed or framed under glass in a brown designer solid wood frame with an antique white mat. Your Northern Dancer Thoroughbred horse racing art is hand signed and numbered by the artist and is of exceptional quality. A Certificate of Authenticity is included.
