BRAVO!!!!!! I am giving you a standing ovation and applauding in between typing. Bravo Maestro, Bravo! There are too few superlatives to throw your way for such a magnificent carving. I am in awe. Joe.

Absolutely magnificent Doc!,
I'm thrilled by the muscle definition you have shown, he looks explosive............but in the words of "Li'l Abner"........if I could have my druthers, I'd druther see him posed against a neutral background as I feel that the plant detracts from the excitement of the pose. But of course that's only my opinion. Beautiful job, thanks for sharing.
John

I want to thank all for the positive comments. This was inspired by Remington's work. I have photos of most of his works and took the time to visit the American Museum of Art in Washington DC to see one of his bronze horses close up. I have several others planned for the future.

What intrigues me about Remington's work is that he captures the action and strengh of the horses.
