Blood-Horse Publications Unveils New Logo

LEXINGTON, KY - Celebrating more than 85 years of service to the equine community, The Blood-Horse, Inc. proudly introduced a new corporate name and logo at an employee gathering held earlier today at the company's headquarters. The distinctive and timeless "mare and foal" logo echoes a theme first used by the company 35 years ago. The new logo was designed by Creative Director Suzanne Depp and her staff, and illustrated by renowned equine artist Richard Stone Reeves.

"The evolution from The Blood-Horse, Inc. to Blood-Horse Publications recognizes the expansion of our company into new areas of service to the horseman," noted Mr. Stacy V. Bearse, president and CEO of the firm. "We are honored that Mr. Reeves accepted the commission to create the illustration that serves as the focal point of our new logo. Richard's sensitive depiction of the bond between mare and foal highlights our continued commitment to the enjoyment, appreciation and welfare of the horse."

Richard Stone Reeves produced his first portrait of a Thoroughbred in 1946. He achieved international recognition the following year when his painting of Horse of the Year Armed appeared in Life magazine. Over the decades, Reeves has painted more champion racehorses than any other artist and his work is coveted by collectors and admirers around the world.
