We had moose all over our city several years ago and within a couple of months practically al of them had had their antlers stolen! Horses are perfect for your part of Florida!

Very stylish. It looks like a customised racing car!

will you buy one at the end of the season and place it in your front yard?

A magnificent beast indeed!

It is bright and perky looking! I like the little corral too. Must be to keep people from climbing on the horse.

Sweet!!

The the kids were little I named our place 'Horse Fever Farm' and put it out on the mail box. Many moons ago.

PS. I beat your daughter in horses-5 horses and 1 pony but she takes the cake on goats. LOL

80? In just Ocala? I wonder how many of the painted animal series are displayed throughout N.A.... including cows, moose, and other animals... What next? I hazily recall the contagion crossing the ocean to Europe... but now I can't remember where I saw it... hmmm.... Now I'm curious to find out the original idea behind this... :-D

Francisca said...

Thanks for the link to the article, Lowell. What I also just learned is that the original idea for the painted animals started with a Cow Parade in Switzerland in 1998 and the fund-raising idea has been used all over both EU and USA. Happy golfing!
