Discover the Legacy of a True Horsewoman: Series 2: The Jean McLean Davis Estate Online Auction! Step into the world of equestrian excellence with the legendary Kentucky horsewoman, Jean McLean Davis. Born in Portsmouth, Virginia in 1929 to a family of remarkable achievement, Mrs. Davis's journey began at the tender age of two when she first mounted a pony, igniting a passion that would shape her life's purpose. Her parents, Amelia Agnes Gatti and George Tutton McLean, epitomized the spirit of determination and success. George Tutton McLean, a self-made millionaire developer, was a titan in his own right. Starting as a coal dealer before venturing into the concrete business, he played a pivotal role in building drydocks at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard during World War II. His entrepreneurial spirit and dedication to excellence laid the groundwork for Mrs. Davis to craft her own legacy. Renowned for her unparalleled devotion to American Saddlebred horses, Mrs. Davis's love affair with these majestic creatures blossomed into a lifelong pursuit of excellence. With nearly 200 World Championship titles to her name, she became a revered figure in the horse world, captivating audiences both in and out of the saddle. In 1964, Mrs. Davis fulfilled her dream by establishing Oak Hill Farm in the heart of Kentucky's esteemed horse country, Harrodsburg. Here, amidst rolling hills and verdant pastures, she cultivated an empire dedicated to the art of horse showing and breeding. A true master of bloodlines and equine athleticism, Mrs. Davis's expertise shaped the very essence of her breeding program. Each horse that graced her stables bore the hallmark of her meticulous attention to detail and unwavering commitment to excellence. But the legacy of Jean McLean Davis extends far beyond the stables. In this exclusive online auction, you'll discover a treasure trove of exquisite antique furniture, beloved trophies, and much more – renowned pieces acquired from high-end, world-renowned auction houses and dealers. Some items date as far back as the 1600s, offering a glimpse into the rich history and timeless elegance that defined Mrs. Davis's estate. This marks the second auction of a series of online-only events dedicated to preserving and celebrating Mrs. Davis's unparalleled legacy.
