Rearing Horse

Horses - the most elegant and graceful animals - at least in my opinion!

This build schows a sculpture of a rearing, dark brown horse which might be the most majestic and powerful pose a horse can assume. That is why I chose this particular pose for the horse. As you can imagine, this is not any horse, but the one I have the strongest connection to. At least, I tried to represent it well in LEGO bricks. It is built of about 600 bricks, mostly dark brown with reddish brown and black accents especially in the area around the nose and the limbs. The horse with its stand is about 30 cm high and 25 cm long.

I tried to capture the proportions of a horse and make the surface as smooth as possible for a natural and organic look.

If you asked me, this would make a great addition for the LEGO sortiment. On the one hand it would fit in the expanding sortiment featuring animals in their sets. On the other hand it could appeal to groups that are not normally interested in LEGO.
