The 2007 Capital Challenge Horse Show is pleased to present this year’s poster featuring the artwork of artist Michael Tang . The latest in a collectable series by this noted artist, the image is on the left, the tradition of beautiful watercolor paintings depicting a winning horse and rider from the previous year.
This year’s edition features 2006 World Champion Professional Hunter Rider, John French and Overseas, and is referenced from a photograph taken by Diana De Rosa.
