  • I’ve Loved Horses Forever 


    As a child I used to drive my dad crazy.  When we’d be driving in the country and I’d see a horse, or even worse, a whole bunch of horses, I’d pound on his shoulders as he drove and I’d holler, “Horsey, horsey, horsey”.  And at school I used to draw horses on the cardboard backs of my friends’ writing tablets. I couldn’t get enough of horses, although about the only time I ever got to ride one was when we’d go on vacation and we’d stop at a dude ranch. But my imagination went wild each time I got on top a horse.  For an hour or so I was a real live cowgirl.

    So when we were at Texas A&M University last year and I saw the horse sculptures in front of the George Bush Library I just couldn’t resist.   They’re depicted here jumping over pieces of the crumbled Berlin Wall.

  • Love that… Did you know, Chris, that OKC is planning to have a bunch of life-sized bronze sculptures depicting the land run of 1889 close or in Bricktown? I hope they get a sculptor who is really good. It could be really wonderful.

  • Saw those when we visited the museum, too. I think I like the ones at Williams Square even better though.

  • Hoe beautiful the calendar at the bottom of the page…. wonderful!
