    Well, I can certainly see why Jim took the big prize. His horse sculpture is absolutely amazing. He caught the essence of the animal's grace and beauty and the expression on the animals face took me right back to a time when I was a young farm girl, rounding up the cattle, LOL, 4 of us kids on the back of our workhorse, a big Belgium. If, I had a place large enough to display it (and the money of course) I would love to purchase it. Hopefully, someone out there will purchase it.
