PARTING WAYS
Tuff Break
In the fall of 1959, renowned equine photographer Marshall Hawkins captured
this image of Mrs. C.F. Blair and Tuffy coming a cropper while following the
Bath County Hounds in western Virginia.
Hawkins, of Warrenton, Va., shot foxhunting, flat racing, steeplechasing,
polo, eventing and shows across the country for more than 50 years, capturing
iconic images of Secretariat at the 1973 Preakness Stakes and First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy riding and hunting in northern Virginia in the mid-1960s.
Throughout his career, Hawkins' work appeared in publications like Life magazine, The Saturday Evening Post, Spur and, of course, The Chronicle of the Horse.
A vast compilation of Hawkins' work is included in the Archives and Manuscripts Collection at the National Sporting Library in Middleburg, Va.
