CHARITY ARTWORK
STABLE MATES
Kauto Star and Denman, are legendary rivals on the racecourse, but more like brothers behind the scenes. These two stable mates captivated racegoers year after year when they battled it out for the much sort after Gold Cup. Two very different horses sharing a brotherly affection back in the stable yard.
Painted as part of the Gold Cup 100 Community Fund Auction. The Community Fund works in conjunction with the Rotary Clubs of Cheltenham to raise funds for local charities.

Thinking of commissioning your own piece?
This is what Kitty thought of her experience.
“I am so pleased I commissioned a piece from Emily of my horse, he’s not the most photogenic horse but Emily was so easy to work with when taking the photos, so we had plenty of choice.”
“The painting is beautiful and I cant believe how much it captures his expression and individuality. Even down to his spots and dimple in his neck! I wouldn’t hesitate to commission another piece from Emily”
