Country horse racing was a major sport in South Louisiana, and Rodrigue painted a large series of racing paintings in the early part of his career. In Cajun country the horses raced around coulees, gullies, bridges and under bridges, whereas only the professional country races were run around a track. This painting depicts two horses in a cajun landscape setting, reflecting Rodrigue\u2019s established style.<\/div>\n

Perhaps the scene represents the horses warming up prior to a race, as the horse depicted in the lead was the prize-winning chestnut gelding Art Work, ridden by jockey James Sam, who set a record on January 11, 1974 at the Delta Downs track in Vinton, Louisiana for the 1.5 mile. Art Work was owned by Mr. and Mrs. Charles Fellows, equestrian enthusiasts and devoted collectors of George\u2019s paintings. The painting has remained in the family\u2019s possession since 1977.<\/div>\n

Rodrigue painted horses the same way he painted the trees, because as he commented, \u201cthey were both here before man. I don\u2019t paint a horse to be a beautiful thing, but a strong, sturdy animal. When I began painting the horse, I wanted to show his strong sporting attitude.\u201d<\/div>\n
