A Raised Leg and a Flowing Mane
We capture this horse in a running stride. One front leg bends high toward the chest, while the other reaches down beneath the body. A hind leg stretches back and leaves a clear space below the belly. We like how the pose looks from the side. The raised hoof draws the eye first, followed by the curve of the neck. The head tips slightly down, and the ears stand up. Above the neck, thick strands of mane rise and sweep back. Their pointed ends give the horse a lively outline.
Dark Bronze with Soft Highlights
We use a dark finish that lets light trace the shape of the horse. Soft highlights show the broad chest, rounded shoulder, and strong hips. The body has a smoother look than the deeply marked mane and tail. From behind, we can see the long tail fall and sweep away from the legs. Its thick strands follow a gentle curve toward the tip. We also see the shape of the lifted hind hoof from this angle. As we move around the piece, the light brings different parts of the body into view.
