This jockey sculpture, "Taking the Lead," captures the essence and excitement of the race.
The jockey is detailed in traditional outfit, helmet on, hands holding tight to the reins, boots secured in the stirrups, while his strong legs hold him out of the saddle.
The horse has two legs on the ground, and two in mid air. The subtle wrinkles of the jockey's shirt, the strands of hair of the horse's mane and tail, and the musculature of the horse's hind and front quarters add to the dynamic nature of this solid pewter sculpture.
Taking the Lead sits atop a two-toned wooden base. Dimensions: 15"W x 7"D x 9.5"H
