I've been thinking about purchasing some horse racing art for my den. Does anybody have any favorite sites that sell horse art. What I'm thinking of is a nice framed print, but I haven't decided between an impressionist type print or a picture. I also haven't decided between a group racing picture or an iso shot of one horse. I want to see what's out there, so if anybody has a neat site they know with this type of stuff I would really like to check it out.

BTW, an original oil would be great. Heck, even a reproduction oil would be great, but is likey out of my price range.

At first I didn't like them, but these old British prints have grown on me..
