I’ve always been fascinated by the “cave horses” prehistoric art of Lascaux France. The Dun Cave Horse is springing out of rock adorned with ancient rock art motifs.

The Spin at Liberty
The Spin at Liberty is a 1/4 scale maquette of a quarter horse stallion, Country Bay Berry, performing the reining horse spin (at liberty). I was so inspired watching this stallion spin in
his reining routine: He literally gets in a ball and spins like a top!
I wanted to capture that movement in bronze and portray the feeling of “roundness” throughout the piece. Country Bay Berry is an amazing stallion with a sweet personality—he even smiles when he is performing.
I have sculpted that smile and his big soft eyes as well.
