| This is a sculpture of my husbands
childhood horse, "Rocket".
One evening while riding, he decided to rope his younger brother who was riding his tricycle.
Fortunately he missed his brother, but did succeed in roping the trike.
The wreck was on....no casualties to the kids though both landed on the ground along with the barbeque, the steaks and
assorted porch furniture.
Rocket was found a bit later, 5 miles down the road still
attached to the tricycle.
I loved this image, and made every effort to accurately sculpt the
old tack, the grade horse, and most of all the terrified stance of
the horse staring at the "monster" he had been dragging
behind him.
