About the Sculpture

Located in the center of Woods Park, Rarin' to Ride was placed in the park in 2007. 

Artist statement: "“There's nothing as good for the inside of a man as the outside of a horse.” Will Rogers knew his way around a horse the same way kids now know their way around a Chevy. This piece, “Rarin' to Ride,” is my idea of the great relationship between man and his four-legged friend."
