Kentucky is the Horse Capital of the World! What better venue for the World Equestrian Games of 2010?
Never before have these games been hosted in the United States, and this honor has been bestowed on
Kentucky and will take place in the magnificent new facilities at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington,
Kentucky.
I attended many of the trial games in Lexington, gathering inspiration and source material for this collection. I
spent two years studying the various equestrian disciplines represented in these world games. I value the
beauty, the action, the energy and the sheer athleticism of every one of them. I have set out to capture the
unique qualities of each sport in this exhibition, giving the viewer insight, intimacy and the ability to
experience and appreciate the pageantry.
This exhibit is an homage to these the best of the best horses, to the talented athletes who ride, and to the
many individuals who support equestrian sport.
Lloyd Kelly
Lloyd Kelly and his artwork are well known in Kentucky’s horse industry. I first encountered his work when
I was the Curator of Exhibits at the Kentucky Derby Museum in Louisville, Kentucky. The pieces in this
show were crafted in honor of the World Equestrian Games, which are being held in Lexington this fall.
Kelly’s style showcases the artistry of the elegant equestrian riders. Horses and riders flow across the paper
and canvas of Kelly’s drawings, lithographs and paintings, symbolizing the beautiful movements that
comprise the equestrian styles represented in the upcoming games. What I enjoy about this show is how
Kelly shows similar compositions in different types of media. Movements of horse and rider are represented
in a lithograph and again in a painting. Both depictions are enjoyable to study, as are all of the works in this
show. As you walk through the gallery and take a look at each of the pieces on display, you will get a sense
of the movement and excitement of the equestrian sport. We are delighted to be able to showcase Kelly’s
work.
Lisa Joyce Huber
Guest Curator
Broadstone Gallery welcomes Louisville artist and art educator Lisa Joyce Huber as the guest curator for
this exhibit. Lisa holds a BA in Art from the University of Louisville and an MFA in Photography from
Virginia Commonwealth University, and has previously exhibited her work in solo and group shows at our

OUR GALLERY MISSION
In our experience as gallery curators, we have found that the introduction of the right work of art into a
person's home or life can, and has, added immeasurably to the quality of some of our patron’s lives. Even
those simply passing by and viewing have told us how much they appreciate our shows.
It is part of our gallery philosophy that art is incomplete until it is seen and appreciated. The role of
Broadstone Gallery is to find the artists, display their works, and give those who might appreciate their art a
chance to see it.
To us, art represents not only beauty, but hope and optimism. Especially in these distressed times, art is an
important reminder that these are still part of the human spirit. We hope to be able to continue to foster it for
a long time to come.
Thanks to our artists, our patrons and especially to our gracious hosts at KECU for their support.
Jane Chancellor Moore (1951-2010)
Jane Chancellor Moore was the principle curator of Broadstone Gallery from its opening until her
untimely death in the spring of 2010. Jane is pictured in the photo immediately above this statement, in
the center in the background. That was appropriate, for while she was very much the center of everything
we did at Broadstone, she also preferred to remain in the background. For more photos and information
about Jane, please click here to visit our memorial page.
