EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases Occident, a brown gelding born around 1876, sired by the renowned pacing stallion St. Clair. The identity of Occident's dam remains a mystery, adding an element of intrigue to this historical image. During this era, horses like Occident were the stars of the equestrian world, with St. Clair being a prominent figure in the pacing stallion ranks. Pacing, a gait in which all four hooves touch the ground alternately, was a popular racing style during the late 19th century. Occident's powerful build and focused expression suggest that he was a force to be reckoned with on the racetrack. The image captures the essence of the sport's rich history and the dedication of its early enthusiasts. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a connection to an era when horses were the primary mode of transportation and a source of entertainment for many. The enigmatic Occident, with his unknown dam and impressive lineage, serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the stories and images of these remarkable animals. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of horses and the thrill of the race.
