Hoofprints

IN HISTORY

NAADIRAH (ASWAN X NAPRASLINA) & TANYA HAWLEY

This edition’s Hoofprints In History was originally going to focus on the collection of one of Australia’s most iconic breeding programs. The tyranny of distance and COVID restrictions made collating this material untenable, and thus we looked at other options.

The stars aligned as a serendipitous series of events eventuated with being charged with the care of a most precious collection, the photography archives of the late Pat Slater. Renowned the world over for her photography and love of all horses, Pat Slater was at the forefront of equine

photography for her time. I have spent hours combing through her archives, and I have only just begun.

I did not know Pat Slater, however one thing that has become apparent to me while searching through this treasure trove is that she appears to have loved photographing people (almost) as much as horses. To that end, this edition of Hoofprints in History celebrates the combination of iconic horses and the people who loved them, so perfectly captured by one of the greatest, Pat Slater.
