"Flying Childers" is a painting by John Wootton, an English painter known for his equine and sporting subjects. Created in the 18th century, this artwork depicts the celebrated racehorse Flying Childers, widely considered one of the earliest Thoroughbred racing stars. The horse, named after a notorious highwayman, was foaled in 1715 and achieved fame for his speed and unbeaten record on the racetrack.

John Wootton (1682–1764) was a pioneer in British horse painting, and his works often reflect the grandeur and importance of the equine aristocracy during the period. In "Flying Childers," Wootton captures the physical prowess and elegance of the horse, which is typically presented in a pastoral landscape that conveys both the beauty of the English countryside and the prestige of the horse's owners and breeders.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical importance in documenting the lineage of racehorses. Flying Childers was sired by the Darley Arabian, one of the three foundation sires of the modern Thoroughbred. His representation by a prominent artist like Wootton underscores the horse's status and the emerging culture of horse racing in Britain.

"Flying Childers" serves as an example of Wootton's mastery in capturing the anatomy and movement of horses, as well as his ability to imbue his subjects with a sense of nobility and vitality. The work is emblematic of the artist's contributions to British sporting art and remains an important piece for both art historians and equine enthusiasts.
