By the artist: "The idea of doing a bronze horse came as a result of being invited to an art show in conjunction with the 2003 Kentucky Derby. I focused . . . on the essence of the horse; its superior strength and vitality. After studying the muscle structure of horses, particularly when they are in full stride, I decided to emphasize the angular lines of their muscle patterns and give my horse an almost geometric touch. "I carefully sculpted the eye sockets to express the vitality and depth I see when I look into a horse's eyes. Along both sides of the neckline there are lightening bolts. The left is jagged, symbolizing the masculine energies of the universe, while the right bolt curves softly, representing the feminine. The left shoulder blade displays a sun, moon and star design, which again, emphasize the duality found in nature; the sun being male and the moon, female, The merging of the two results in a child, signified by the star. "On the right shoulder blade are three circle designs, symbolizing the journey of the soul and its progression towards greater enlightenment or knowledge. On both thighs is a handprint. "These days, as in the Kentucky Derby, horses are bred and primed for athletic competition. Nevertheless, there is a part of them that will always be wild and untamed. This spirit of freedom is what I saw in their eyes and actions, and how the title of this piece came to be."
