That's a brief but comprehensive write-up on the passing of the great mare.

Kind, the dam of Frankel, Noble Mission, and Bullet Train, has died at age 20 after foaling a colt by Kingman. Sad to see it end like this for her after her poor fertility record the last couple years. Reminds me of Royal Delta. Though I know the team at Juddmonte wouldn't have done anything to put her at risk.
"Kind has a full-sister to Frankel and Noble Mission in training with John Gosden, the three-year-old Chiasma, although she slipped to Galileo (2014, 2015) and Kingman (2016 and 2017) in recent years. She was barren in 2019 and slipped to Galileo last year, while she was due to revisit Kingman this term."

All those slips and 20 years were sending a message. I am very sad about this.Northport wrote: ↑Mon Mar 08, 2021 8:50 am Kind, the dam of Frankel, Noble Mission, and Bullet Train, has died at age 20 after foaling a colt by Kingman.

Bloodhorse has essentially the same article but they have a picture of Kind and her 2021 colt as a newborn:

I'm sure Kind was treasured by everyone at Juddmonte but after slipping five of the last six times she was bred, I wouldn't say that they never did anything to put her at risk; especially given that she was 20 years old. She more than earned a retirement.Ziggypop wrote: ↑Mon Mar 08, 2021 9:53 amAll those slips and 20 years were sending a message.

Early pregnancy loss can occur for many reasons, and most have nothing to do with foaling safety. There is little reason to believe that she couldn't have foaled out fine, she wasn't 'telling people something was wrong'. It's unfortunate as she was a wonderful mare, but I am sure they did everything within their power for her.
RIP Kind, you'll always be one of the greats.

I haven't seen how the colt is doing mentioned anywhere, but I hope he'll be ok.
As tough as the picture is to look at, it really does capture: "She will always be Kind by name and Kind by nature.”

Kind by Susan Crawford
Her website has some truly stunning work, seems like she did a lot of commissions from Prince Khalid. The one of Roaring Lion though is... yikes.

Wonderful work. I love her head studies the most, where it seems she may have been painting...or at least sketching...from life.
I presume you're talking about how long Roaring Lion's legs look in his portrait when you said "yikes." He does look awkward, but I wonder if she was commissioned to do his portrait after he died, and the photos she had to work from led to those proportions. Or maybe he was that long-legged? He has a lovely head in her painting.
Love her looser sketches - reminds me of the great illustrator Paul Brown - and she really knows her horse anatomy. Her humans, however.... Not so much.
The portraits of famous people with/on their horses clearly show the problems an artist has adding the person while having only photos to work from. In the painting of Queen Elizabeth on her stocky grey Fells Pony (I think that's what her mount is), her face just seems to float inside her scarf.

The yikes for Roaring Lion was more about how small his head and neck are compared to the rest of his body. He wasn't perfectly proportioned in real life, but he did have an average size head

Thanks for sharing the website. I'll refrain from critiquing art (I barely survived art appreciation in college and can't draw a straight line lol), but I do especially love the one of Go For Wand.Northport wrote: ↑Wed Mar 10, 2021 1:48 pm Kind by Susan Crawford

I dont think the RL one is too bad...but I would've preferred a grassy, green landscape. Really make the gray pop.

I thought this article was interesting read, even if one was not a big fan of Time Form Rating.

I actually ended up buying a print of "The Race that Never Was"
Saw it on her website, it was a bit pricey but couldn't stop thinking about it for the last couple days so finally caved.
I'm a fan of Montjeu and a super fan of Dubai Millennium, and his whole story was just triumphant and also tragic. I'm going to get it framed to match Sea the Stars by Peter Smith.
One day I will buy artwork that doesn't involve horses, but today is not that day. Don't even get me started on Charlie Mackesy's work
