Imogen Mary Collier (1873-1952) was born in 1873 at Whitchurch, Devon, England. She was the daughter of Mortimer John Collier and Sophia Luddington Whipple. Known by the family as Dena, she lived her life in the family home “Foxhams” built by her father some years before in Horrabridge on the edge of Dartmoor. The family included painters of note, one of her uncles was A.B. Collier a well known West Country artist and another The Honourable John Collier, a painter and writer on art. Further her mother’s friend was Lady Elizabeth Butler, (painter of Scotland for Ever and other well known paintings), so surrounded as she was by artists and horses it is not surprising that her life followed a certain course. Dena’s mother Sophy was known to drive a trap, of unspecified type, with some skill and speed around the local district and the stud at Foxhams was thought to have come into being in 1888 when Dena was about fifteen. Later Collier studied art at the well known school founded by Mr. W. Frank Calderon, (son of Philip R.A.) The School of Animal Painting, in Baker Street, which no longer exists. His best known painting was the, Horse Fair (Royal Academy 1894). A fellow student at the school was Lionel Edwards. Collier carried off two art scholarships, (details are unknown), but she is believed to have spent some time in Paris where the family say she knew Gwen John, sister to Augustus John. She also journeyed to Egypt and India, leaving paintings of camels as well as ponies to be enjoyed. Collier had two painting’s hung in the Royal Academy: 1899 In the Old Barn and 1904 Rocket - weight-carrying hunter at grass. Further she painted two presentation pictures, one of the late Mr Masheter, Master of the Essex Hunt and one of the late Mr Penn Sherbrook, Master of the Synington (Yorks) Hunt. She also painted several famous racing ponies for Baroness Burton of Douchfour Inverness.

Daphne Moore, the hunting correspondent writing about the Croome Hounds c.1950, emphasised the influence of Rambler as a perfect type of hound. ‘Who could have dreamed that in 1949 well-bred hounds in almost every kennel in England would have at least a trace of Rambler’s blood in their veins?’ … to the hound man The Croome and the name Coventry immediately recalls Rambler. Anyone who has seen his portrait by Lutyens, will remember him as being the perfect type of hound for any country…’ Charles Lutyens the artist spent his early adult life in the Army, joining the 20th foot and siled with them in 1850 to serve in Canada.

- 18th Oil Painting Horses Feeding at the StablesBy James SeymourLocated in London, GBJames Seymour (1702–1752) Feeding Time in the Stables Oil on canvas 32 x 38 inches inc. frame Provenance: Private Collection, Lambourn James Seymour (1702–1752) was an English painter, widely recognized for his equestrian art. Seymour was born in London. His father was an amateur artist and art dealer, whose other business dealings (as a banker, goldsmith, and diamond merchant) afforded young Seymour the leisure time to study art on his own, either his father's or the art at the Virtuosi Club of St. Luke - a gentleman's club his father belonged to, specializing in art. In a short time the boy was a self-taught artist, familiar with many of the prominent artists of the period. Seymour's love of art was matched only by his love of horses. He began spending time at racetracks early on, and before long found himself absorbed in the sport - drawing, painting, owning, breeding, and racing horses. His art proved popular among the prominent sporting families of the day, eventually garnering Seymour patrons in Sir William Jolliffe and Charles Seymour, 6th Duke of Somerset...Category
