Works of art depicting the beautiful and elegant horse remain an extremely
popular choice for visitors to Sculptureyard.com.
Although the horse contact with man stems back 30,000 B.C.,
it was initially seen as a source of food.
As time went on, however, man learned that the horse could be an extremely useful asset in
veryday life. Whether the horse was used for transportation or simply to aid in hunting animals
that man could not traditionally catch, this once hunted creature became vary valuable. The
domestication of the horse was first seen around 3000 B.C. in China where horse drawn chariots were
used in wars and invasions.
The horse was highly popularized in the art of
the Romans with numerous popular pieces depicting
the anatomical features of the horse to more
dynamic sculptures of battles and chariot races.
The horse gained further recognition by the
cowboys and American Indians of the wild west who
relied so heavily on this creature for survival.
In a more contemporary setting, the elegance of
the sport of thoroughbred racing has put the horse
on a pedestal above most other animals.
