My namesake, the Thoroughbred stallion Visionaire now stands at Summerhill Farm in South Africa. While searching for some photos a few days ago, I came across this awesome video of the Summerhill stallions. While most stud farms throw together a 30-second commercial clip of their horses (if you’re lucky), Summerhill created a 25-minute Hollywood-style movie with stunning photography and a meaningful storyline to showcase their bloodstock. I cannot imagine Ashford Stud or Claiborne encouraging their stallions to run free across a field, down a roadway chasing them with a video camera on a truck (a la Seabiscuit), but it certainly makes for beautiful cinematography.
