Horse Decor Title of Bronze shown below: RISIN' TIDE To view a Hackney Pony in the show ring is a sight you will not soon forget - extremely high action in both fore and hind legs, snappy precision of motion, with a proud yet disciplined carriage of head and a display of constant, consistent, agile alertness. These ponies are small in build, standing around 58 inches, or 14.2 hands, at the withers but their presence is mighty. And if you are lucky enough to ever sit sit behind a hackney, you will suddenly begin to think the earth is flat after all and that your pony is taking you right to the edge ! A hackney pony in the modern show world can be shown in hand, as a harness pony, or a road pony - there are even classes where the road ponies are under saddle. There are many types of driving classes, where this pony shines and many combinations of hitch. The finest in precision and high style is the cob tail , with the hair of his tail trimmed , and his mane braided to make his fine lines apparent to all and to emphasis the motion of the form and verve of the pony with no other distractions. The Hackney Pony sculpture displayed below is a museum quality bronze and was on loan to the International Museum of the Horse at the Kentucky Horse Park for a full year. It is also an AHSA perpetual USA national award.  Photo By Mike Davis Risin' Tide One casting of this edition is an American Horse Show Association National Perpetual Award Museum quality bronze edition of 10 - email or call for current pricing. 14 inches tall by 14 inches long, plus walnut base. The rising tide of a hackney pony is a force that cannot be denied. If you are privileged to drive such a magical creature, you will suddenly become aware that the earth really is flat and you are approaching its edge. Then the hackney's mouth on the lines reassures you that the world is at your fingertips. patricia@artbycrane.com (765-288-0484) Return to Bronze Sculpture Gallery Other bronze sculpture links, with sculpture titles, are as follows: Three Gaited Saddlebred Bronze Sculpture (Accolade) Horse Sculpture: American Saddlebred Bronze (After The Class) Bronze Horse Sculpture (Caliburn) American Saddlebred Horse Art (Criterion) Sporting Art: Thoroughbred Bronze Horse Sculpture (Cooling Down) Filly Bronze Sculptures: Horse Decor (The Filly) Horse Sculptures: Morgan Horses: American Saddlebred (The Gathering) Hackney Ponies: horse Decor Bronze Sculpture (Man on the Town) Morgan Horses: Bronze Sculpture (Odyssey) Bronze Horse: American Saddlebred Sculpture (The Phoenix) Mustang Horse Art: Cowboy Sculpture (Spooked) Thoroughbred Art: Horse Racing Art Sculpture (Handicap Horse) Fine Harness Horse: Bronze Sculpture (Triumph) Life Size Horse Sculpture (Supreme Sultan for American Saddle Horse Museum) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
