A bronze jumping horse trophy in progress

This clay model for a bronze sculpture started out as a pipe with a t fitting on a board. I then added oil based clay and wires to support the legs, tail and head and neck. 
Once the horse was well under way, I added the saddle, bridle, breastplate and then the rider.
When the finished sculpture is cast in bronze, there will be no pipe in his belly for support.
This horse and rider are approximately 12 inches high.

Number 1 of the limited edition of this bronze jumping horse sculpture is going to become a perpetual trophy on a walnut base which will bear the names of the winners through the years. 
I will keep you updated as this statue moves through the mold making and lost wax bronze casting processes!

Dappled grey Arabian horse bronze statue

Bronze horse statue
I just love how the patina accents the form of this bronze sculpture. This bronze sculpture of the head of a beautiful dappled grey Arabian horse is part of a limited edition. It is a 1/2 life size sculpture that was created as I stood outside this gorgeous mare's stall. She was very interested in what I was doing and was kind enough to allow me to take measurements from her as I worked. It was a joy to work from such a lovely model.

A customized statue of bronze horses galloping

Running Bronze Horses 
This bronze sculpture was created for a collector in Arizona with a custom red dun and sorrel patina on the bronze horses. The two frolicking horses were custom colored to match the horses of the collector. She was thrilled with the result!
