Where to buy horse racing prints

Marjorie Gilbert Marjorie Gilbert

Horse racing began with the Central Asian nomadic tribesmen who domesticated the horse in at least 4500 BC. By 628 BC, horse racing was included as a sport in the Greek Olympics - an obsession which continued in ancient Rome. Racing more similar than what we know today began in 12th century in England and became a professional sport in the 1700s. Prints of horse racing can celebrate this ancient sport.

Art shows

Art shows can be a place where you can find prints of horse racing. These prints may be done by amateur or professional artists who like horse racing and love to capture the sport in their art. These prints may be smaller versions of larger works of art, or even photographic prints that are in colour or black and white. Some of the prints may be available as postcards or framed prints that you can hang directly on the wall.

Poster shops

Poster shops may be a source of horse racing prints as well. There, you will find prints in poster size and smaller of famous artists like Edgar Degas, Harry Hall, Carl Hermann Kuechler, George Stubbs, Alfred de Dreux and more. You will also be able to find photographic prints in poster size or smaller by Cindy Dulay, Susan Crawford, Sir Alfred Munnings and more. These prints will come in various sizes and you can choose to have them framed or unframed. The range of horse racing prints available at stores such as these can almost be akin tracing of the history of horse racing through the art.

Race courses

Race courses will also be a source of horse racing prints. There, you will be able to find prints featuring individual riders and horses, prints specific to certain courses and famous races, as well as autographed prints. The equine art can come in various sizes and be framed and unframed. Some race courses also sell prints of old posters advertising certain historical races or posters used in old advertising campaigns. The originals can be quite old, and may trace back the history of the race course itself. They will be a boon to any fan of horse racing.
