The Top Horse Statue In The World - Section 4

Bruce Davidson Riding Eagle Lion: This bronze sculpture by Jean Clagett commemorates Bruce Davidson and Eagle Lion’s historic win as the first American entry to triumph at the Badminton Horse Trials in England in 1995. Donated to the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, KY, by Eagle Lion’s owner George Strawbridge along with sponsors and dedicated supporters, the piece has become a beloved spot for eventing fans. It remains a popular backdrop for photos and has even witnessed at least one marriage proposal.

"The Day the Wall Came Down" commemorates the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, a pivotal moment that led to the reunification of Germany. The sculpture portrays five horses leaping over a collapsed segment of an authentic two-ton section of the Berlin Wall. Created by artist Veryl Goodnight, two editions of this powerful statue were produced—one in 1996, now located in Berlin, Germany, and another in 1998, which stands outside the George H. W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum in College Station, Texas.
