I don't have much info on these works of art. I came by them via email, but I thought they were worth sharing.

Here.

Oh well, just get rid of this thread then. Sorry about that. I wondered if it might already have shown up here.

No, it's fine, that was four years ago. But it does tell the who, what, where, of those horses, which is why I linked it.

Hmmm, the whole hoof thing has me suspicious, they look too real.

These are actual sculptures created by artist Heather Jansch.

There are a couple of similar sculptures at the Portland Oregon airport, created by Deborah Butterfield. This link gives some information on how they're made.

Thanks Glinda. Of the two, I personally prefer Heather Jansch's as they appear more natural. Deborah Butterfield's appear to me to be more rigid and less natural looking.

They also have three of those style driftwood horses in the National Geographic Shop in London
