The Soul of a Horse

The Soul of a Horse (Mare With Foal) was an award-winning 1963 photo taken by the German photojournalist and Stern magazine staffer Peter Thomann.[1]

In the mid-1970s the Kentucky Horse Park near Lexington opened to the public, using a logo based on the photograph.[2] The icon of the dark colored mare and a light colored foal in mid-run was used to create the Kentucky Horse Park specialty license plate.[3] In the late 1990s, Thomann sued, and the icon was removed from the license plate. The horse park made an agreement with Thomann and kept their logo with his permission.[2]
