President Ronald Reagan with His Horse at Rancho del Cielo
Large poster/ photograph of President Ronald Reagan with his horse at Rancho del Cielo. Semi-glossy board print of Ronald Reagan standing next to one of his horses, possibly Little Man, and feeding them a carrot. Ronald Reagan was an avid horseman whose enthusiasm for riding formed an important part of his private life and public persona. At his California ranch, Rancho del Cielo, he kept several horses, most notably his favored Anglo-Arab stallion El Alamein, while his wife Nancy Reagan preferred a horse named No Strings. Reagan’s commitment to riding was well known—Secret Service agents assigned to him were required to learn to ride in order to keep pace—and his equestrian life extended into diplomacy, most famously during his horseback ride with Queen Elizabeth II in 1983. An earlier riding accident, however, later contributed to a 1989 surgery to address a brain fluid condition, effectively bringing an end to his regular horseback riding and marking the close of a defining personal practice. In very good condition. The piece measures 23.25 inches by 18.75 inches.
Ronald Wilson Reagan served as the 40th president of the United States from 1981 to 1989 and became a highly influential voice of modern conservatism. Prior to his presidency, he was a Hollywood actor and union leader before serving as the 33rd governor of California from 1967 to 1975. When Reagan left office in 1989, he held an approval rating of 68%, matching those of Franklin D. Roosevelt, and later Bill Clinton, as the highest ratings for departing presidents in the modern era. He was the first president since Dwight D. Eisenhower to serve two full terms after the five prior presidents did not. Evaluations of his presidency among historians and the general public place him among the upper tier of American presidents.
