Family of Horses

Harry O'Hanlon

Three unsaddled horses stand quietly on concrete steps of the City plaza, reminding us of the beauty of nature and wide open spaces of the prairie.

About this work

Three unsaddled horses stand quietly on concrete steps of the City plaza, reminding us of the beauty of nature and wide open spaces of the prairie. In this way, they offer temporary respite from the frenzy of our urban lives. They also speak to family. The mare turns to her foal while the stallion, standing behind them on higher ground, keeps a watchful eye.
