In 1853, President Franklin Pierce arranged to buy 29,000-plus acres from Mexico for $10 million, in a transaction known as the Gadsden Purchase. Over in England, Tom Oliver rode Peter Simple to victory in the 15th Grand National Steeplechase. And, right here in Upperville, Richard Henry Dulany began the Upperville Colt & Horse Show. Now at 170 years, it’s known as the oldest horse show in the country. Dulany lived at Welbourne and eight plus generations of his family have followed. To celebrate this season’s horse show, friends and family gathered for what was billed as a “Spring Time Tea Dance.”
Artist Linda Vorath felt inspired by the timeless classic scene enough to paint “Traditions at Welbourne” 8 x 10 in., oil on linen. To view her work: www.lindavorath.com
