Farrier shoeing a horse with dog bronze horse portrait sculpture

"Working Buddies"

by equine artist
Kim Corpany

This custom bronze horse shoer portrait was created for

River Bluff Ranch in Cottage Grove, MN.  

It is a bronze portrait of master farrier Steven Grey and his 
miniature Aussie Sheperd as Steven is shoeing a horse.

Kim Corpany's bronze horse sculptures are full of life.  To look at them draws a person in, waiting for the bronze sculpture to move, looking for the bronze horse's ear to twitch, the tail to swish or the horse to breathe.
Kim has made a life-long pursuit of understanding horses from the inside out and it shows in her remarkable horse sculptures.  Kim's bronze equestrian monuments and bronze horse sculptures tell the stories of the horses and riders that they are modeled after.  Her bronze bronze sculptures speak to the viewer with emotion and presence.
