Description of Artwork/Artist's Statement: (attach separately if necessary)
Epic scale of cutting horse, rider and cow.
"Captain Richard King knew the value of good horseflesh, having paid $600.00 for a stud ns early as 1854, which was t ice as much
as he paid for his original South Texas rancho. By the time he was moving cattle up the trail to Fort Worth and beyond, aptain King
horses and developed a program that not only thrived but flourished over the years through the tireless efforts of his dau hter,
Helenita, nephew, Dick Kleberg, and grandnephew Tio. Their efforts were rewarded through the pt1blic successes of the uster
Welch, Mr. San Peppy and Peppy San Badger "Little Peppy" era. King Ranch is proud of its history and legacy of innov tion and
development initiated by Captain King. The pursuit of these core values is alive and well through his ensuing generation and
evidenced by the Running W Brand."
