Ashland Celebrated Maid Mare Thorne Trotting
EDITORS COMMENTS
Lady Thorne, formerly known as Maid of Ashland, was one of the most celebrated trotting mares in the mid-19th century. Born in the United States around 1858, she quickly gained a reputation for her exceptional speed and agility on the racetrack. This image, taken in 1866, showcases the magnificent Lady Thorne in her prime. The mare's sleek, muscular form is on full display as she gracefully trots, her powerful legs propelling her forward with each stride. Her glossy coat shines in the sunlight, and her ears are pricked forward, indicating her focus and alertness. The intricate harness adorning her body, with its shiny metal accents and delicate leather straps, highlights her importance as a racing champion. Lady Thorne's story began in Ashland, Kentucky, where she was bred and trained before making her racing debut. Her impressive performances on the track earned her a devoted following, and she quickly became a fan favorite. Her victories in major races, such as the American Trotting Classic and the Hambletonian Stakes, cemented her place in history as one of the greatest trotting mares of all time. This photograph, taken in 1866, captures a moment in the life of a true equine legend. Lady Thorne's legacy continues to inspire and captivate racing fans to this day, a testament to her enduring influence on the sport of trotting.
