Suffolk Punch Stallion: Sudbourne Premier

Herbert Haseltine American, born Italy
after July 1923 – ca. 1924; cast 1925
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 774
Haseltine’s series British Champion Animals, begun in 1922, eventually numbered twenty-six, and included Suffolk Punch Stallion: Sudbourne Premier. The horse was foaled in 1919 and from July 1923 belonged to Percy C. Vesty of Eastham Park, Wickham Market, England. In 1924, it had an impressive seven first-place prizes in shows of the Royal Agricultural Society of England. As was Haseltine’s customary method of completing the British Champion Animals, he modeled the horse in England, and completed the resulting edition of bronze casts in Paris.
