Every year for the past 4, I have attended the annual Arrowfield Stud stallion parade as part of my work, in 2008 the farm unveiled a statue of the Champion stallion REDOUTE'S CHOICE. The statue was commissioned by John Messara, owner of Arrowfield Stud. The artist was Tanya Bartlett, and while I've only seen this & 1 other piece, revealed on the same day, she is so talented it's ridiculous.
The statue of Redoute's had so much detail, you almost wanted to give him a pat, well to be honest I did! Every proportion was perfect, veins popping under a silky coat, the eye of a champion, the lot.
This is the horse Redoute's Choice:
