MAGAZINE: The British Racehorse The British Racehorse was a superb publication appearing first in 1949 and continuing until 1980, thereafter becoming The European Racehorse. The list of contributors reads like a veritable who's who of great theorists, pedigree analysts and historians of the thoroughbred: David Livingstone-Learmonth, Peter Willett, Franco Varola, John Hislop, Charles Leicester, Vincent Orchard, Madame Vuillier, J.A. Allen, John Aiscan, Alexander Mackay-Smith and others. Each cover features a notable painting of the thoroughbred, and articles about artists were a regular feature, by writers such as Stella Walker and Adrian Bury. Coverage of the best runners of the time with superior conformation photos of each in the 50's and 60's, articles included notable stud farms, breeding theory, and the history and development of sire lines in all major racing countries, as well some more obscure. Many many contemporary and historical conformation photos of mares, stallions and racehorses which you will not find elsewhere. A tremendous source of information.
