I’ve always like to draw and sculpt horses, but I find them to be very challenging, much like people. I originally did this piece for a Kentucky Derby event at a Jockey Club in New Mexico. This particular horse has a little bit of an Arabian look with the dished face, but it also takes traits from other breeds. In the bottom half of the design, you’ll see that there’s plenty of room for a logo, a message, or whatever in the pedestal. This piece would also work as a knight chess piece as well.
