Does anyone know who painted the foxhunt mural above the polo arena?

Wow, this is really great to see. William Durland, owner of Durland's Riding Academy, was my great-great Uncle and it is so fun to see these pictures that I never knew about. I think that the NBA could learn a few tricks from them!

[That's interesting, and thanks. There was an article in the New York Times a few years ago about the building and the academy that might be in the archive section of the NYT web site. - Dave]

I wonder if they dribbled. The players, I mean.
