Tooled Leather - Horse in the City - Shawnee, OK - Fiberglass Horses on Waymarking.com

"Tooled Leather" stands in front of the Tener's Western Wear store at 3309 N. Kickapoo. This is a fiberglass horse that is part of Shawnee's Horse in the City arts program. The horse is dark brown, and is painted to be wearing a tight-fitting, tooled leather blanket, in two shades of tan. This art object was sponsored by Tener's Western Wear. The artists are Doug Hurt and the Spitz Family.

In 2007, the City of Shawnee sponsored the Horse in the City program as part of its Public Arts Project. Life-sized fiberglass horses were sponsored by companies, organizations and individuals in the Shawnee area. Choosing one of four poses (Standing Thoroughbred, Standing Arabian, Grazing and Rearing), each sponsor worked with an artist, designing how their horse would be painted. Some depict paintings specific to the sponsor's business or interests, and others depict Oklahoma history and other generic designs.

The horses are displayed throughout the City of Shawnee and it is such a joy to suddenly spot one alongside the road. Enjoy finding as many of these as you can.
