That was in the paper yesterday I think and yes it was called horse at water. It's stunning but didn't realise it was that big !
Wonder if it would fit next to my garden pond ?

Annoyingly it had been on wheels for a good half hour but didn't realise what is was till I called it under when ready to load, then it's a rush to get it on before moveing onto next one etc! But it's on a 40' long, 8'6" tall x 8' wide box and was a good 6' over height and over width each side so huge! Didn't have paperwork for that ship as was moving to another but port of destination was abbreviated down to PHL? Confusingly had this weeks H&H on me and picture of it in there said going to Greenwich Park, the ship we put it on would not have fitted down the Thames! Think I read about copies going around the world though, sure someone on here will know

Wow that's huge!! My horse struggles to get past the (obviously severed) iron horse heads on a gateway near us, not sure what she'd think if she came across that!

Wow that's amazing!! I thought it was a fountain until I googled it and saw the pipe thing in its mouth is actually to balance it haha. I wonder why it's called horse at WATER though.
