The Red Prince Mare is a 1921 oil painting by the British artist Alfred Munnings. It depicts the mare Rosemary which belonged to his wife Violet, being saddled for a point-to-point race in England. The painting was displayed at the Salon of 1922 in Paris where it was awarded a gold medal. The picture was originally bought for a thousand guineas by Helen Hay Whitney and was later inherited by her son John Hay Whitney. In 2004 it was auctioned by Sotheby's in New York for $7.84 million, a record for a work by Munnings.
