    From where I come from, people say, that 'the luck of the world, is to be found on the back of a horse.'

    Please have a good weekend.

    What is the significance of this mare? Was she a racehorse? It is a lovely sculpture.

    Shirley, I think she might have been a racehorse but I can't seem to find any information about her on the internet.

    I love this sculpture because we were sitting under it a few years ago--my daughter and her little boy and me (the old gray mare).
