Horsetails

Unbridled's Song

Descended from five consecutive generations of leading sires, including Native Dancer and Mr. Prospector, Unbridled's Song had an excellent racing career including wins in the Breeders' Cup Juvenille, the Florida Derby, and the Wood Memorial Invitational, finishing 5 - 4, 0 of 12 starts. After his retirement, he is now considered a premiere stud, with several Grade 1 winners to his name and a Yearling Average that has never been below $250,000. Unbridled's Song's tail hair has been generously donated by Taylor Made Farm in Nicholasville, Kentucky.

About the Project

Fifty-two artists from around the country have been chosen and each given small replicas of a violin and bow. Each artist has been assigned an unforgettable, beloved horse and has created a work of art. Artists have worked with paint, glass, metal, and other mediums. Their only charge was to embrace either the image or spirit of their horse. Horses include well-known Thoroughbreds, as well as other breeds represented in the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games™.

Each piece will be on display at the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games™. During the Games, a silent auction will take place, with all proceeds go to the Lexington Philharmonic Orchestra’s Partners in Education, a program benefiting the children in high-risk areas of Kentucky through music education.
