Snow at Seven Barrows by Peter Curling. This winter scene shows the great trainer Nicky Henderson's string of high class jumpers exercising on winter's morning at Seven Barrows in Lambourn, Berkshire. Seven Barrows is a famous stable from which many top class horses have been trained; Peter Walwyn was the previous trainer here and Grundy was trained to win the Derby on these gallops. Peter Walwyn was also a great encouragement to Peter Curling when he was starting out as an artist and it was at this location that the young artist first felt the excitement of seeing horses at work in the early morning. |

Aldaniti by Peter Curling. Peter Curlings latest superb limited edition tells the story, of one of the most moving and memorable days in racing history - the heroic victory of Aldaniti and Bob Champion in the Grand National on April 4th 1981. Bob Champion was one of the top five jump jockeys in Britain when. in July 1979, lie discovered that he had cancer in two parts of his body and was forced to undergo a painful, but successful course of chemotherapy at The Royal Marsden Hospital in Surrey. Whilst Bob Champion was struggling with his chemotherapy. the horse which he was hoping to ride in the 1981 Grand National- Aldaniti, who had already missed two full seasons with tendon trouble, strained his tendon for the third time. The injury was so severe that his trainer, Josh Gifford, suggested to the horses owners, Valda and Nick Embiricos, that he might never race again. Thus, the fairy story was born. Even to get under starters orders was achievement enough but for Bob Champion and Aldiniti to race home ahead of the favourite Spartan Missile and at it odds of 10- 1, was enough to make horse and jockey perhaps the best known in the history of the most famous race in the worId. Peter Curling has chosen to portray the emotional moment when Aldiniti, in the lead, took the final fence at Aintree just seconds before winning the once. The painting has been published as a limited edition print to raise funds for The Bob Champion Cancer Trust, which will benefit from the proceeds of every print sold. The Bob Champion Cancer Research Unit was opened at The Royal Marsden Hospital in 1986. Signed by Bob Champion himsell and by Josh Sifford, the trainer. and Nick Embiricos, the owner, Peter Curlings latest beautiful limited edition print is also a tribute to Aldaniti, who died it the grand old age 27 in 1997. |
