Magnificent Draft Horse in Motion

Although this figure has received the dings of time, it still has beautiful lines. It reminds me of the Greek and Roman antiquities that are still beautiful even though they are missing parts of their original form. Being cast iron, this draft horse is quite heavy! Its appeal to horse lovers will surely be strong, but art lovers will admire the spirit captured by the artist in the depiction of a muscular draft horse on the move, tail switching and braided mane. Available at River City Antique Mall, Princeton, Wisconsin, booth PPR. Call  920-295-3475 to arrange for purchase and shipment.
