Previously operated as The Blood-Horse Inc., the company will now operate as Blood-Horse Publications.The "mare and foal" 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," Bearse said.

Richard's sensitive depiction of the bond between mare and foal highlights our continued commitment to the enjoyment, appreciation and welfare of the horse."Since producing his first portrait of a Thoroughbred in 1946, Reeves has painted more champion racehorses than any other artist and his work is coveted by collectors and admirers around the world.Blood-Horse Publications is a multimedia publishing company that traces it roots to 1916.
